Yageo increases the prices of its entire series of capacitors, with spot market prices potentially rising even more.

On July 1st, there were rumors in the market that the passive component giant Yageo had notified customers of a price adjustment. Starting from that day, prices of all series of capacitor products, including tantalum capacitors, MLCCs, aluminum capacitors, solid aluminum capacitors, film capacitors, super capacitors, etc., were increased. The products affected accounted for about 50% of Yageo's revenue, and this price hike was the first time that direct customers were included. Journalists contacted several Yageo distributors such as Dongguan Chaoxiang Electronics Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Hefengxin Technology Co., Ltd. to confirm this information. The distributors all confirmed that the price increase of all series of Yageo capacitor products was true, and this time the price increase expanded from distributors to direct customers, with spot prices and contract prices both increasing simultaneously. An employee of Shenzhen Hefengxin Technology Co., Ltd. told reporters that the original factory price increase of Yageo capacitor products this time was about 50%, and the corresponding increase in the spot market price would be even greater. "This time, the factory notified of the price increase, but in reality, prices in the spot market have been rising continuously from May to now. The price of high-end capacitor products has almost increased 10 times in a month. There have been frequent cases of delayed delivery, not only for Yageo, but also for major brands of MLCCs."
