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.
