Following Yageo (2327), a prominent player in the passive component sector, recently hiking the prices of its tantalum capacitor offerings, the ripple effect of these price rises continues to reverberate. Yesterday (January 2, 2026), market reports surfaced indicating that PULSE, Yageo's brand specializing in magnetic components, has sent out a notification to its customers. This notice reveals that starting from January 1, 2026, there will be a price adjustment for specific ferrite bead products. The primary driving force behind this price adjustment is the escalating costs of raw materials. Moreover, the booming demand in high-end application fields, notably AI servers, has acted as a catalyst, intensifying the upward price trend within the passive component industry.
