Input component shortages leading to production bottlenecks for AI hardware OEMs.

Extended read

The surge in AI server deployments is creating a bottleneck in the Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) market. Leading Japanese and Korean suppliers are seeing orders significantly outpace production capacity. This 'crowding out' effect suggests that while AI hardware revenue may remain strong, the cost of goods sold (COGS) for non-AI segments could rise due to supply constraints.
