    AI Server Demand Drives MLCC Book-to-Bill to Post-Pandemic Highs

    Question

    AI Server Demand Drives MLCC Book-to-Bill to Post-Pandemic Highs

    Direct answer

    Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) are essential for power management in AI servers. The surge in demand from AI accelerator production is leading to a supply crunch. Leading Japanese and Korean suppliers are seeing record order backlogs, which could delay production for non-AI segments like smartphones and electric vehicles.
