"Our primary challenge at present is the scarcity of products," remarked a trader. "There's robust demand from original manufacturers, many of whom have secured long-term contracts, thereby constraining the available market supply." Specifically, prices for AI-related and certain high-end MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors) are experiencing significant fluctuations due to severe shortages. The first floor of Shenzhen Huaqiang Electronics World, a pivotal center for spot MLCC trading in China, features counters for leading global brands and provides an extensive array of products. Regarding the anticipated price trajectories of MLCC products, industry experts generally concur that AI-related MLCCs will persist in being in short supply for the foreseeable future, with prices projected to ascend. Concurrently, the pricing for consumer-grade MLCCs will hinge on the expansion endeavors of original manufacturers and the demand dynamics within the consumer electronics market.
