The electronics thermal management market is a complex, competitive, and highly layered market. New demands for new materials are bringing new concepts to bear on increasingly critical heat flux and power dissipation requirements in many market segments of the electronics market. Critical market assessment of existing products and materials solutions, understanding of how geographic differentiation and major geographic shifts in electronics manufacturing and markets, and technical marketing planning for addressing new market inflection points is what we do, for a growing number of major companies and new start-ups.
The most effective tool for successful new product development and the resuscitation of existing materials and components businesses is strategic market analysis and guidance.
In technology businesses, we often are critically focused on the perceived product performance requirements — when in fact, the business and technical marketing and channel issues are frequently the make-or-break determinant of business success in electronics thermal management.
