AI servers are driving a surge in demand for high-end passive components, rapidly eating into multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) capacity and extending lead times to more than 16–20 weeks. As a result, some orders that once went to major Japanese and South Korean suppliers are gradually spilling over to Taiwan-based makers.
