Commodity MLCC, chip resistor inventory swelling
Passive component makers have seen their commodity MLCC and chip resistor inventory swell since the second half of this year, as a result of sluggish demand for consumer electronics products, and they are eyeing automotive applications as growth driver, according to industry sources.
The sources said demand for commodity MLCCs and chip resistors is expected to gradually pick up in September, but what matters most for suppliers is to solve their inventory problem.
