（1） I. industry entry barriers

At present, in China’s electronic components thin carrier tape industry, a considerable number of small manufactures. At the initial stage of the development of thin carrier tape, the domestic demand for similar products mainly depends on imports.

With the rapid development of electronic information industry, the demand and localization requirements of thin carrier belt are becoming increasingly apparent, which gave birth to the rise and development of this industry. Because there are many kinds of electronic components, from ordinary electronic components to high-end electronic components, the corresponding thin tape carrying system has great differences in talent, technology, equipment and technology. Therefore, it is easy to enter the thin carrier band industry, but to become a large-scale, professional and systematic comprehensive production factories, it mainly faces the following entry barriers:

1. Technical barriers

The thin carrier tape industry of electronic components is a technology intensive industry, which usually needs advanced technology and technology. New entrants to the industry must have a specific technical level.

From the perspective of production raw materials, taking the paper carrier tape in the thin carrier band of electronic components as an example, its important core technology is the production process of electronic special base paper. The production process of base paper is relatively complex, and it is necessary to master a number of key technologies and processes, such as paper surface treatment, interlayer adhesion control, anti-static treatment, wool control, etc.

Therefore, the product performance of base paper has a great impact on the surface mounting effect of electronic components. It can be said that we have mastered the production process of electronic special base paper, that is, we have controlled the production of paper carrier tape at the source. For a long time, the production process of electronic base paper has been monopolized by foreign enterprises, and domestic enterprises are in a passive position in technology. If you want to make a breakthrough in the process technology of electronic base paper, you often need a long time of technology accumulation and the cooperation of practice. It has a high technical threshold and forms a certain barrier to new competitors in the industry.

From the perspective of serving customers, the downstream customers in this industry have a wide range of fields. Customers have multi-level product needs for thin electronic components, and different products have differences in design, selection of materials, production process and supporting services. Therefore, enterprises in this industry also need to be able to provide new product development and service according to customers’ actual needs in the process of product production The ability to customize a series of services such as production and subsequent maintenance, and whether it can provide customers with perfect one-stop services are important factors to measure the comprehensive competitiveness of the enterprise.

From the perspective of product technical requirements, since most electronic components are sensitive devices, their protection in the process of bearing transportation and surface mounting is particularly important, which requires the comprehensive application of anti-static technology, peeling force technology, singeing treatment and other technologies.

Therefore, higher requirements are put forward for the supporting thin belt carrying system. With the rapid development of the industry, some enterprises with strong technical R & D strength, industry awareness and rich product lines continue to grow and become leaders in the industry. However, some small-scale companies are subject to factors such as technical strength and capital scale, so it is difficult to improve their market share, which will

Increase the market risk of new entrants to the industry.

2. Product quality, market and brand barriers

In the whole industrial chain of surface mount, although the use of thin carrier tape accounts for a low proportion of the total cost, because it is inseparable from the packaging, transportation, preservation and use of electronic components, the performance of its products directly affects the quality of terminal electronic products and plays an important role.

For the downstream electronic component manufacturers in the industry, the product quality, stability and consistency of thin carrier belt are particularly important, which not only affects the accuracy of surface mounting of electronic components, but also one of the important factors determining the production efficiency. Based on the above facts, electronic component manufacturers, especially some well-known leading enterprises in the industry (such as Murata of Japan, Guoju electronics, Samsung of Korea, etc.), have a strict and complex certification process for the selection of consumables with large consumption such as thin carrier belt.

New entrants must pass the management processes such as testing, sample delivery, small batch orders and re inspection every year, This has formed a large entry barrier for new entrants in the industry. Those enterprises that have accumulated long-term technology, have perfect product series and reliable quality assurance, and can provide one-stop service gradually gain recognition in the business development with downstream customers, establish good trust and cooperation, and have the effect of market brand.

4. Human resource barriers

The market of thin carrier tape industry of electronic components is relatively subdivided, but it involves a wide range of technologies, including papermaking, plastics, precision processing, precision measurement, surface treatment, etc.

Therefore, it is necessary to reserve various technical talents. It not only requires a large number of research and development personnel to continuously update the technology and process technicians to continuously improve the product quality, but also requires experienced professional equipment maintenance personnel to maintain and transform the production equipment. In addition, it also has high requirements for the proficiency of general skilled workers. With the continuous improvement of downstream customers’ requirements for product types and performance, the thin carrier tape industry of electronic components is developing in the direction of “overall solution”, which puts forward higher requirements for relevant production personnel and technicians. Especially in production and technology, talents with rich practical experience and professional knowledge will play an important role in the development of enterprises. The relative stability of this kind of compound talents is an important factor in the development of enterprises.

5. Equipment barrier

Sharp tools make good work. The technical requirements of thin carrier tape for electronic components are high, which also puts forward higher requirements for its supporting production equipment and use. Among them, on the one hand, there should be equipment resources matching the production of thin carrier belts of electronic components. On the other hand, more importantly, manufacturers need to continuously adjust and optimize the equipment in combination with their own experience and technology accumulated in the production process, so as to continuously improve the accuracy and efficiency.
