Notification of Market Update on Passive Components

Dear Valued Partners,
We would like to share with you the latest developments in the passive component market. Since January, overall cost pressures have continued to rise, and suppliers have issued successive price adjustment notices. In recent months, resistors, inductors, and ceramic disc capacitors have already seen noticeable price increases, and we expect multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) and aluminum electrolytic capacitors to follow in the coming weeks.
At the same time, the rapid growth of the AI sector has significantly boosted demand, putting additional strain on general production lines. As a result, lead times for MLCCs, resistors, and inductors have now extended to 12 weeks or more.
We understand that these market changes—price fluctuations and longer lead times—bring challenges to sales and delivery. Please rest assured that we remain committed to supporting our customers and will do our utmost to maintain stable pricing and delivery schedules wherever possible. Still, we kindly ask for your understanding that the overall trend points toward gradually increasing prices and extended lead times. We encourage you to take this into account when planning procurement strategies to minimize potential risks.
We truly value our partnership and will continue to closely monitor market conditions, providing timely updates to help you prepare ahead.
Yours Sincerely
