Walsin Technology, one of Taiwan’s leading manufacturers of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), has notified distributors that it will raise prices on resistors and selected capacitor products beginning June 1, citing mounting cost pressures and robust demand from AI-related applications. The move makes Walsin one of the first Taiwanese MLCC suppliers to formally implement a new round of price increases, and a sign that the inflationary effects of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom are spreading deeper into the electronics supply chain.
