Company Report

MLCC Utilization to Pick up Toward End of 2024 for Passive Components Suppliers

Taiyo Yuden is one of the top suppliers of passive components, with the third-largest market share in multilayer ceramic capacitor, or MLCCs, and bandpass filters. Passive components are necessary for all electronic circuits. They are used to store electricity, to control electric flow, to enable wireless communication, and to remove electromagnetic noise. While we acknowledge that shipments of digital appliances are slowing down, we think progress in telecommunication standards—such as 3G, LTE, LTE advanced, and 5G—and increased electronic devices in automobiles will drive the continued expansion of the component market.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Taiyo Yuden will benefit from increased passive components per phone as a result of advancing technology in telecommunications. In particular, diffusion of LTE and LTE-advanced networks and phones will be the driver.

Bears

Average prices of smartphones have been gradually decreasing since 2012, and the profitability of handset makers has also been declining. Consequently, price-cut pressure for components will strengthen.
