THE ELECTRONIC MATERIALS REPORTER

Prismark is now offering the Electronic Materials Reporter (EMR), the industrys only continuing
comprehensive analysis of all chemicals and materials used in the fabrication and assembly of electronic
components, modules, and systems. On a quarterly basis, the Electronic Materials Reporter provides timely,
in-depth analysis of the industrys 160+ electronic materials, the companies that serve this market, as well as
trends and developments driving and shaping this dynamic business.
The Electronic Materials Reporter is organized with a rotating editorial calendar. The Q1 issue presents
Prismarks annual electronic materials market forecast; the Q3 issue focuses on the competitive landscape;
and the Q2 and Q4 issues look at specific market subsegments or technologies in greater detail.
