Shortly after 2018, it took 3 months. Schneider has issued two price increase notices.
On February 27th, Schneider released a series of product price adjustment notices. Schneider Electric's product lineup of low-voltage inverters, servos, controls and signals, Osmart series, touch screens, large-scale and small-sized PLCs, etc., prices were increased by 3%-10%. The price of the new list will become effective at 00:00 on March 26, 2018.
On March 23rd, the price of the new list has not yet taken effect. Schneider Electric again issued a notice that the price-adjusted products were added to the five product series of low-voltage inverters and servo products on the basis of the original product series.
In fact, not only the Schneider family, the rise in the price of automation products has become a common phenomenon in the industry. As Schneider said in the price increase notification, the main reason is "rising raw material costs." Since the end of last year, the prices of raw materials led by electronic components have risen frequently, resulting in continuous increase in the cost of automation products. It is expected that this trend will continue to ferment.
Electronic components continue to be out of stock prices, the market is hot
The order is full, the capacity is insufficient, the resistance is still in short supply
Although the electronic components experienced a fierce and long price increase in 2017, the resistance market price trend is relatively weak. They do not know that just entering the 2018 rise will be a menacing. In less than 2 months since it opened in 2018, the resistance market has experienced two rounds of rising prices. The resistance manufacturers including Guo Ju, Wang Mut, Housheng, Lizhi Electronics, Guanghan Technology, Huaxin and Fenghua Gaoke have all The announcement of the price increase notices that Guo Ju is even more soaring and the price increase is as high as 30%. On March 20, Guanghan Technology announced the third resistance price increase notification this year. At present, resistance manufacturers' orders are really hot, and the product supply gap has spread from general-type resistors to high-precision resistors, and the delivery cycle has become longer. Some manufacturers have already added new production capacity to meet demand.
Soaring demand, MLCC out of stock until the end of 2018
In 2017, the MLCC market was in tight supply throughout the year. The MLCC manufacturers including Guoge and Fenghua Hi-Tech all experienced several rounds of price increases. By 2018, the trend of MLCC stock price shortages continued. Murata Marsh, CEO of Murata China, stated that the global The combined production capacity of the MLCC manufacturers can not meet the soaring demand. The MLCC shortage situation will not be relieved until the end of 2018.
The most lacking specifications of MLCC are concentrated in 0402,0603 medium capacity products, especially in 0402, due to the Japanese supplier Dachang Murata, which was mainly supplied to the EMS factory, the amount released to the distributors was very small, coupled with Kyocera's reduced production, leading to a mad mania. Some orders have flocked to the new Huaxin Branch, which has a slight capacity. The distributors are worried that these commonly used materials are widely used and are now very tight. The third quarter is scarce due to the peak season effect.
MOSFET supply gap is more serious, the second quarter prices rose 5 to 10%
Due to the withdrawal of international giants, MOSFET supply has become tighter since the second half of last year. Due to the limited production capacity of wafer foundry and EPI silicon wafers, market supply pressure has continued to rise, and quotation has really started to rise since the first quarter of this year. . After entering the second quarter, under the influence of Chaowei, Intel, and NVIDIA's launch of new platforms, the MOSFET supply gap will become even more serious. The order visibility of MOSFET makers will reach the third quarter of this year, and product pricing will also be smoothly escalated in the second quarter. The increase is about 5 to 10%.
Solid capacitor, aluminum electrolytic capacitor supply and demand gap exceeds MLCC
With the increase in aluminum prices and environmental protection policies, upstream aluminum foil suppliers have increased their prices, causing downstream aluminum and solid-state capacitors to have to follow up prices. At the beginning of this year, Nichicon issued a notice to announce that its aluminum electrolytic capacitor product price has increased by 5%, which opened the prelude to the price increase of aluminum electrolytic capacitors this year. Immediately after the Japanese manufacturers, Taiwanese manufacturers also increased the price of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. . The lack of leading solid-state capacitors for solid-state capacitors is relatively calm, but from the perspective of supply and demand, the market conditions are just as hot and the gap between supply and demand exceeds MLCC. Previously, manufacturers have been picking up the average selling price, and there is a possibility of a comprehensive price increase since the second quarter of this year.
MCU market is facing supply shortage, estimated price increase rate of 30%
In December 2017, NXP (NXP), the global leader in automotive chip electronics, announced that MCUs, automotive electronics and other products will enter the price increase channel from the first quarter of 2018, and formally launched the MUC chip prices this year, the first shot! Due to the large number of automotive electronics and Internet of Things (IoT) into the MCU architecture, demand outbreaks, coupled with IDM plants including ST, TI, Renesas, etc., have caused insufficient production capacity, resulting in long delivery period. It is reported that many MCU manufacturers' product delivery time has been extended from 4 months to In 6 months, Japan's MCU manufacturers have even elongated to 9 months. By 2018, with the rise of raw materials, it is imperative for major global fabs to escalate their prices to customers. The situation of MCU's shortage of stock prices will continue, and the estimated price increase rate is 30%. Currently, some fabs have already announced price increases, which may cause MCU prices to be out of stock.
Upstream soaring, automation companies need to be careful
Since last year, the wave of prices for component out-of-stock prices has been wave after wave, even worse this year. Regardless of whether the supply of electronic components is tight or eased, downstream automation companies must consider important factors such as supply demand, original product mix changes, and timely adjustments to their purchasing strategies. At this stage, many manufacturers have issued expansion plans, which have been implemented in areas such as memory chips and MLCCs; and the shortage of silicon wafers and the short-term expansion of production have also affected the output of electronic components. Then, in the case of a surge in demand, supply and demand will be uneven or will remain. All parties in the supply chain should also comprehensively balance their positions in terms of industry, demand, and upstream changes, and prepare in advance to respond flexibly.
