hot_img TrendForce: AI demand drives Japanese and Korean MLCC suppliers to achieve the highest shipments in June in five years, with consumer-grade order overflow boosting prices from Taiwanese and Chinese manufacturers

According to the latest survey by TrendForce, in June, the top three MLCC suppliers in Japan and South Korea (Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Taiyo Yuden) achieved a monthly shipment volume that reached a nearly five-year high, with 140 billion, 98 billion, and 40 billion units respectively, and the growth momentum continued into July. AI applications are the main driving force, with CSP manufacturers maintaining strong procurement demand for self-developed ASIC platforms such as Google TPU and AWS Trainium, driving continuous growth in demand for high-capacity, low-voltage, small-sized MLCCs.At the same time, Japanese and South Korean suppliers are accelerating the shift of production capacity from consumer-grade X5R to high-end X6S/X7R specifications, resulting in a severe squeeze on the production capacity of mid-to-high capacity (1µF-22µF) consumer-grade MLCCs, with mainstream inventory days generally falling below 30 days. The overflow effect of production capacity has led channels, agents, and second- and third-tier customers to urgently pull goods, significantly increasing order visibility for Taiwanese and mainland suppliers, leading to rising prices, with agents raising prices by an average of 20-25%, and spot market prices have soared to 2-3 times the original price. TrendForce pointed out that the consumer-grade MLCC market currently shows a structural mismatch of "weak end demand, strong channel pricing."

Taiwan, China has officially established a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency through the "Virtual Asset Service Act."

According to The Block, the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan has passed the "Virtual Asset Service Act" in its third reading. The bill has been submitted to Taiwan's regional leader Lai Ching-te for signing, and the implementation date is expected to be announced within 10 days.The core points of the bill are as follows:• Licensing requirements: Virtual asset service providers must apply for a license from the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC). Platforms that have completed AML registration have a 12-month application period and a 21-month approval period.• Stablecoin regulation: Issuing or managing stablecoins requires dual approval from both the central bank and the FSC, and sufficient reserves must be maintained.• Compliance requirements: Covering aspects such as cybersecurity, customer asset segregation, and internal controls.• Criminal penalties: Illegal operations can result in a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison and fines of up to NT$100 million (approximately US$3.14 million); market manipulation in the crypto space can lead to a maximum sentence of 10 years and fines of up to NT$200 million (approximately US$6.28 million).Industry insiders point out that crypto companies previously operating in legal gray areas will no longer be able to rely on regulatory ambiguity. Traditional financial institutions will also be allowed to apply for VASP licenses in the future, and existing crypto companies may face increased competitive pressure.
