Most ceramic capacitor manufacturers are aggressive and flexible on pricing to maintain or increase capacity utilization. However, slowing rates of cost reductions are likely as manufacturer operating margins erode. The pricing of high-end products, like smaller case sizes and high-capacitance/high-temperature parts, remains elevated and exhibits upward trends. Commercial-grade capacitor demand remains weak while inventory levels drop, necessitating the monitoring for sudden demand upticks, which may cause short-term supply issues.
