中文(ZH) 集邦咨询:AI需求催出日韩MLCC厂单月出货新高,消费级订单外溢效应显现

AI demand boosts MLCC shipments, driving price hikes and capacity shifts

MLCC manufacturers in Japan and South Korea have seen a surge in shipments due to high AI demand, reaching near five-year highs in June 2026. This demand has led to a shift in production, with factories prioritizing AI-specific components like X6S/X7R over consumer-grade capacitors. Consequently, consumer-grade MLCCs are experiencing capacity constraints, driving up prices by 20-25% for distributors and even higher in the spot market, despite weaker end-user demand. AI

IMPACT AI demand is causing supply chain disruptions and price increases for critical electronic components.

    TrendForce: AI demand drives MLCC shipments from Japanese and Korean factories to a new monthly high, with spillover effects from consumer-grade orders becoming apparent

    36氪获悉,根据TrendForce集邦咨询最新MLCC产业调查,得益于AI需求畅旺,2026年6月村田、三星电机、太阳诱电等三大日韩厂出货同步创下近五年单月新高;其消费级订单持续外溢,利好其他制造商和渠道报价皆有上涨。因日韩厂加速将消费级X5R产能转向AI用X6S/X7R高端规格,消费级中高容MLCC(1uF-22uF)产能受挤压,主流料号的库存水位普遍已低于30天。在此排挤效应下,渠道、代理商与Tier 2/3客户急单涌现,订单外溢效应持续扩大,其他制造商的接单能见度明显改善,报价同步走扬。此外,已提前备货的代理商把握机会调高产品价格,平均涨幅达20…
