Extended read
The surge in AI server deployments is consuming a disproportionate share of high-end Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs). Major Japanese and Korean suppliers are seeing book-to-bill ratios well above 1.0, indicating orders are significantly outstripping shipments. This concentration of supply toward AI platforms (Nvidia, AMD, and custom ASICs) may create a bottleneck for broader consumer electronics and automotive sectors as they compete for limited production capacity.
