The market demand for cheaper products using semis is based on the decline in price that Semiconductors go thru in their normal product cycle. Capacitors are not the same kind of device, therefore will not suffer from the need to constantly develop new products to remain competitive. The pricing of capacitors is somewhat dependant on the cost of metals such as palladium, silver, etc. but not to a great degree. Volume is the most important event that can lower operating costs, and that is what wireless can bring, ie greater volume, lower mfg costs = higher profit.
