About this volume
Volume 5 extends the Category Intelligence Series with the same five frameworks and seventeen-section structure applied to Advanced Packaging Substrates. It is in production now.
Like every volume in the series, it will apply the same five analytical frameworks and the full seventeen-section structure — from category definition and incumbent mapping through to the pipeline opportunity model and methodology. Scores publish with the volume.
In the meantime, Volume 1 (Surface Modification) is available now and is the baseline the rest of the series references.
