On May 29th, it was reported that during a recent institutional research interview, ICkey was queried about the overall price surge in components during the first and second quarters, along with the company's perception of these increases from a cost perspective. ICkey acknowledged that there had indeed been some upticks in costs, with storage products witnessing the most substantial rise—although these are not the company's primary offerings. Components like capacitors, resistors, and inductors have also experienced price hikes, yet these increases have been relatively modest. This situation can be primarily attributed to ICkey's market position and its robust purchasing prowess. Leveraging a vast network of global suppliers and a diverse array of procurement channels, the company is adept at identifying more favorable purchasing opportunities. Moreover, ICkey maintains long-standing partnerships with suppliers, having secured some orders and prices at the beginning of the year, with suppliers demonstrating strong price planning capabilities. By adopting different procurement strategies for various categories and models, ICkey has effectively managed to keep price increases in check.
