In 2021, the global electronic product market will become more and more difficult. In addition to the shortage of stock, the price will increase, and now the price of small capacitors will also increase.

A few days ago, Nippon Chemicon and Nichicon, Japan's two major aluminum capacitor manufacturers, announced price increases one after another. They have issued notices to customers, explaining the current predicament in detail, and hope that customers understand the difficulty of having to increase prices.

This is not the first time that the price of capacitor products has increased. Passive components such as capacitors and resistors were already ready to move before the Spring Festival. After the festival, many manufacturers directly announced price increases. This trend has become more and more obvious since March.

Among them, Kaimei, a subsidiary of Taiwan-based Yageo Electronics, has announced two price increases this month, the first price increase of 5-15%, and the second price increase of 6%.

In the global aluminum capacitor market, Nippon Chemicon and Nichicon ranked first and second in share, while Rubycon, the third largest in the world, had previously announced price increases.

Aluminum capacitors are the basic components of the electronics industry. Almost all important electronic products use capacitors. In recent years, with the rise of industries such as 5G and autonomous vehicles, the demand for capacitors continues to grow.

According to the report, the global aluminum capacitor market size in 2018 was 6.15 billion US dollars, of which consumer electronics demand accounted for 45%, mainly for energy-saving lighting, televisions, monitors, computers and air conditioners and other consumer markets; industrial demand accounted for 23% , mainly used in industrial and communication power supplies, professional frequency converters, numerical control and servo systems,

Wind power generation and automotive fields.

According to estimates, the global aluminum electrolytic capacitor market size will reach 6.33 billion US dollars in 2021, and my country's aluminum electrolytic capacitor market demand will account for more than 60% of the global market.
