It is reported that the world’s top three aluminum electrolytic capacitor suppliers, NIPPON, NICHICON, and Rubycon’s three major factories have increased the originally planned 9% to 12% price increase to 10% to 15%. The main reason is that the epidemic has caused capacitors. Impaired production capacity.
It is understood that after the Malaysian government announced the extension of the blockade order at the end of June, the Malaysian factories of Jiamei and Nichicon in the hardest hit area of the epidemic began to suspend production on July 3, and Nichicon notified their factories to stop production before July 20. . The supply and demand relationship in the aluminum electrolytic capacitor market has been severely imbalanced.
In recent times, the epidemic situation in Malaysia has not shown signs of improvement, and the number of confirmed cases in a single day has broken out. Due to economic pressure, the local government gave it cautiously. ASJ, a subsidiary of Kaimei, received a notice on July 15 that it could resume work on the 15th in advance, but it could only maintain 60% of its manpower. Coupled with the production capacity of the mainland plant, the group's production capacity is expected to drop from 30% to 10%. However, the current epidemic is spreading. Even if the production line can maintain the capacity of 60%, it is expected that the supply and demand pattern of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor market will still be difficult to effectively improve in the short term.
It was previously reported that related aluminum electrolytic capacitor companies launched a new wave of increase in the third quarter. Lilongdian and Jinshan Power will both increase 10%; Kaimei, which launched the first price increase in the first half of the year, is expected to be in the market. Follow up price increases in August.
On the 5th, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor factory Aihua Group issued a price increase notice to customers. Due to the sharp increase in the price of raw materials, the company will increase the price of aluminum and electricity by 10-15% starting from August 15. Fengbin, another company in the same industry, announced a 12-15% price adjustment starting August 1.
