July 16, 2024 /SemiMedia/ -- According to the supply chain, passive electronic component manufacturers such as Murata and TDK are expected to increase the quotes of products such as multilayer inductors and ferrite beads by 20%.

Industry insiders pointed out that silver accounts for 60% of the raw material cost of multilayer inductors and magnetic beads. As the price of silver has soared by nearly 40% this year, the cost of manufacturers' multilayer inductors and ferrite beads has been greatly increased.

Industry analysts believe that after more than a year of inventory adjustment, the passive component industry's inventory has recently returned to a healthy level. Coupled with the arrival of the peak season and rising raw material costs, there is a chance that passive electronic components such as multilayer inductors and ferrite beads will see price increases about 10% to 20%.
