Extended read

The Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) market is tightening as AI infrastructure build-outs consume high-specification components. Japanese and Korean manufacturers are seeing their strongest order books since the pandemic, with book-to-bill ratios significantly above the 1.0 parity level. This supply concentration on AI-grade components may lead to longer lead times for non-AI hardware, while simultaneously increasing the bill-of-materials for AI server integrators.
