SMD capacitors/SMD resistors have increased prices in the full range. 2018 is destined to be an extraordinary year. In these few days, major electronic component manufacturers and distributors are adjusting the price of SMD capacitors/SMD resistors. Rising, and both have issued price adjustment notices!
Since last year, a series of electronic components have appeared out of stock, such as display screens, flash memory, and mobile phone main chips. By 2018, the shortage of stock prices is still the main theme, and some passive components have also increased in price. So, as one of the passive components of the chip resistor will appear out of stock?
In fact, at the end of 2016, SMD resistors have already begun to be out of stock. This was caused by the automotive and industrial markets and later spread to distribution channels. It is expected that the market for patch resistors this year will see steady increase in demand in the first half of the year, and actual demand will increase according to the normal rules. However, it is not ruled out that there are speculations in the market concerning the use of environmental protection pressure, raw material price rises and other factors, resulting in tight supply of large-size products in the short-term market. Some manufacturers located in mainland China may be influenced by local environmental control policies and their production capacity may be limited. This may result in a shortage of goods.
Another part of the voice said that it is optimistic about this year's resistance market and believes that the overall performance of the patch resistor market this year will be better than last year. "From the 1st to the 2nd quarter of the market situation, the current resistance has not yet appeared out of stock tide." As part of the resistance manufacturers can not afford the rise in raw materials and labor costs, have raised the ex-factory price, which also caused the market Agents/distribution of a large number of orders to meet the expected price increase, resulting in the factory full capacity, the situation of supply in short supply, but this does not represent the growth of end-user demand.
Finally, no matter how the market changes, don't forget hardfind electronics We always provide you with the best price for electronic components.
