AI demand tightens high-end MLCC supply, prompting agents to raise prices and strengthening supplier bargaining power. Geopolitical risks and inflation raise costs, curbing ODM leverage, with high-end MLCC prices likely to rise moderately in 2H.

Key Highlights

  • Strong AI server and data center orders drive sustained high-end MLCC demand, with rising supply chain costs tightening supply. 
  • Agents stockpile amid shortage concerns, weakening ODM bargaining power and resulting in minimal 3Q price cuts.
  • Taiyo Yuden and Samsung raise agent prices for consumer MLCCs to curb hoarding and improve margins.
  • High-end MLCC prices may rise moderately in 2H on CSP spending, while consumer grades depend on inventory clearance and end demand.
