Expect Near-Term MLCC Shortages, Higher Prices and More for The Components Marketplace.

Component purchasers can expect tight supply and increasing prices for High capacitance base metal electrode multilayered ceramic chip capacitors (MLCCs), resistors, semiconductors, graphics cards, memory: the list of electronics products facing allocation and demand volatility is continuing in 2018 and beyond. Supply Chain Specialists, Components Makers, Distributors and OEMs are concerned the shortages will last for years.

The reasons are compounding. New and evolving markets, including automotive, defense, mobile, industrial, and internet of things (IoT) are creating surges in demand. Those verticals that have traditionally used electronic components are using more, while other markets have started to add electronic component content to their product designs. The shifting political landscape, where sanctions, tariffs and trade agreements are in flux, further complicates planning.

Clearly, a strong obsolescence and market supply and demand volatility program is a critical part of success over the next several quarters. With lead times stretching to nearly a year in some cases, everyone is scrambling to find additional supply or new sources.

In addition, ensuring proper supply chain risk mitigation from counterfeit, when full documentation back to original manufacturers does not exist, is essential. Resion is a highly accredited facility for AS6081 level authenticity inspection and testing services. We look forward to customizing a procurement and product plan to meet your production and to mitigate market supply and demand volatility.
