Input cost inflation and production bottlenecks for AI hardware manufacturers.

Extended read

Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are essential for power management in high-performance computing. The surge in book-to-bill ratios suggests that even as GPU supply improves, secondary components are becoming the new constraint. Major Japanese and Korean suppliers are prioritizing AI-grade components, which may lead to longer lead times for traditional automotive and smartphone manufacturers.
