Driven by price hikes rather than volume, holiday sales mask weak demand, leading to a conservative Q1 outlook and strict inventory control. However, strong demand for AI chips (e.g., TPUs) boosts high-end MLCCs. Suppliers are expanding in SE Asia and prepping capacity for future AI growth.

Key Highlights

Weak Consumption: Sales growth is driven by inflation, not volume. The supply chain remains conservative regarding Q1 orders.
AI Strength: AI infrastructure demand is rising; proprietary chips like Google's TPU are driving up high-end MLCC usage.
Supply Chain Shift: The "China+1" strategy is deepening in SE Asia. Logistics flexibility is becoming a key competitive differentiator.
Capacity Planning: While currently controlling inventory, suppliers are proactively adjusting capacity to meet upcoming AI demand.
