AI demand triggers MLCC super cycle, causing shortages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The demand for AI computing power is driving a significant upswing in the MLCC (multilayer ceramic capacitor) market, with some analysts predicting a "super cycle." MLCCs are now a major cost component in AI servers, and their market size is expected to grow substantially by 2025-2030. The industry is experiencing a structural shortage, particularly for high-end MLCCs needed for AI servers and electric vehicles, due to long production lead times and rapidly increasing demand. AI

IMPACT AI's insatiable demand for compute is making critical components like MLCCs a bottleneck, potentially impacting hardware production and costs.

    Computing power ignites MLCC super cycle, 'rice of the electronics industry' may face structural shortages

    在AI需求持续加大的刺激下，A股MLCC（多层陶瓷电容器）板块近期开启了一轮上涨行情。高盛最新研报认为，AI驱动的MLCC超级周期才刚刚开始。MLCC已成为AI服务器继GPU和内存之后的第三大成本项，预计2025年至2030年市场规模将增长约4.3倍。记者调研获悉，当前，MLCC行业正呈现“高端缺货，低端缺产能”的结构性紧张格局。因AI服务器、新能源汽车带动高端MLCC需求大幅增长，叠加高端产线建设周期长、短期产能难以快速释放，高端型号供需缺口显著。MLCC素有“电子工业大米”之称。从功能作用看，它类似于电子设备里的“电压稳定器”或“电荷水库”。所有芯片…
