[The country's giant rose 20% to 30%, Fenghua Gaoke rose 7% to 13%, Vishay Precision rose 7%, resistance prices rose again! Only half a month later, another wave of price notifications struck, this time still being resistance. Fenghua Hi-Tech and China Giants have issued notices that they will increase their resistance to resistance from February 5th. Their Chinese giants' price increase will be about 20% to 30% or even higher, and Fenghua Hi-Tech's price adjustment will be 7%~13%. ......
Giants second wave: up to 20%~30%
Yesterday (February 1st), Guoju’s EMS manufacturers and distributors received notices of price adjustments for chip resistors issued by Chen Zuming, general manager of China’s giant China business, and notified that prices of several upstream materials have continued to rise. With careful consideration of the shortage of substrates, labor salary, environmental protection costs, and exchange rate, due careful consideration, prices for medium and large size thick film chip resistors (0402-2512) and exclusion (YCTC122-164) will be subject to price on February 5. Upgrading: The increase rate is about 20% to 30% or even higher depending on the actual item and the original price.
This is the second increase in resistance of the Giants in 2018. On January 10, GuoGuo issued an announcement regarding the price adjustment of the giant chip resistors in the country. The announcement letter stated that due to the continuous appreciation of the exchange rate, the constant increase of raw materials and labor costs, etc., it was decided to start from January 10, 2018, generally. Thick-film resistors (RC series) and large-size thick-film resistors (RC series) each increased by +15% to +20%, accounting for 45% of the total resistance.
It is reported that the first wave of price hikes on January 10 was for agents, and yesterday’s wave of price increase targets included agents and EMS/OEM manufacturers, and the second wave of price increases and price increases exceeded the target. The first wave.
Data show that the global chip resistance monthly capacity of about 360 billion, its giant Suzhou factory in China to occupy 30% of the global production capacity, its chip resistance in the global market share of 34%. In other words, the price increase of Guoju has a great impact on the entire resistance market.
Fenghua Hi-tech: increase 7%~13%
There will also be Fenghua Hi-Tech, which will start raising prices on February 5th. On January 22nd, Fenghua Hi-Tech issued a notice on the price adjustment of chip resistors. The notice stated that due to the increase in the price of precious metals in international commodities in the coming year, the pressure on domestic environmental protection, the continuous increase in various raw materials, and the increase in labor costs, the company’s operating costs The pressure is overwhelmed, so the price of chip resistors will be adjusted upwards. The price adjustment range includes: RC/RS Series 0402, 0603, 0805, 1206 size conventional resistance value range, the price adjustment rate is 7%~13 based on the current sales price. %, effective on February 5, 2018.
In 2018, just a month passed, Wang Mutual, Guanghan Technology, Lizhi Electronics, Guoda, Huaxin, Housheng, and Fenghua Hi-Tech all released resistance-rising news. Guo Da was the second wave of price increase this year. At present, KOA, the second-largest resistance manufacturer with a market share of 9% of global chip resistors, has also raised prices for resistance.
High-precision chip resistors also rose?
In addition, Vishay Precision has recently announced its resistance price increase. Yesterday (February 1st), Kaiping Electronics passed the phased micro service platform and said that the company received a price adjustment notice from Vishay Precision Group on Monday (January 29th), notifying Vishay Precision that it would close on March 1st, 2018. New orders will be introduced using the new price list and unfinished orders will not be affected. The new price list released in March 2018 will replace the price list released in March 2016.
Affected by this notice, the electronic reminder customers using precision foil resistors, "We will have to implement new prices after February 25," but strive to place orders for this year at old prices before February 25.
It is worth noting that Vishay's precision and open electronic adjustment categories are high-precision chip resistors. According to open-circuit electronics, the price of high-precision SMD resistors will remain relatively stable compared to low-end thick-film chip resistors. From the information it has received so far, the average price increase has been around 7%, the last time. The price adjustment took place on March 1, 2016. The price adjustment range is close to this time, so this price adjustment is within the normal range and there is no need to read too much.
However, Open Electronics also stated that the long delivery period of high-precision resistors is a huge challenge for users. The basic reason is that due to the strong market demand leading to the lack of capacity of the original factory, the delivery period of some resistors has been more than half a year, and is continuing to deteriorate, reminding users to make a budget according to the current delivery schedule and try to place early orders so as to avoid delays in production.
Main cause: strengthening environmental protection and shortage of raw materials
First review the reason for the price increase of several resistance manufacturers:
Wang Quan: Due to the continuous rise of raw materials and packaging materials, the company is facing great cost pressures...
Thick voice: As the environmental protection requirements increase, various raw materials continue to rise in price, and the company’s operating costs continue to increase...
Lizhi Electronics: As the price of raw materials continues to rise sharply, the operating costs of the company have increased...
Optical Technology: Due to the increase in the cost of thick film resistor materials (packages, pastes, plating materials, ceramic substrates)...
Huaxin Branch: As raw materials and labor costs continue to rise...
Guo Ju: In response to the continuous appreciation of the exchange rate, the raw materials and labor costs continue to rise and other factors; due to a number of upstream materials prices continue to rise, coupled with the lack of bases, labor salary, environmental protection costs and exchange rates and other unfavorable factors...
Fenghua Hi-Tech: As the price of precious metals in international commodities has risen in the past year, the pressure on domestic environmental protection has increased, all kinds of raw materials continue to rise, and labor costs have increased...
According to several notices, the reasons for price increases are concentrated in the strengthening of environmental protection and the rise in raw material prices, among which environmental shutdown has had a large impact on the price of raw materials and the release of production capacity.
With respect to raw materials, due to the environmental shutdown, the price of palladium materials required for ceramic substrates that account for 30% of the cost of resistive materials continued to rise, and ceramic substrates were in short supply. It is reported that large resistance manufacturers have prepared for the high season ahead of schedule for the busy season; resistance upstream One of the raw materials, the price of ruthenium (Ru), also soared; the electroplating material was lacking again and rose. It was reported that the unit price rose by 20%; the price of packaging paper doubled, and the thin type used in the production, transportation and packaging of electronic components was reduced. The price of the carrier tape rose; ink prices rose in December last year and continued to rise in January this year....
In addition, according to the Industrial and Commercial Times report, this year's resistance to new production capacity is not easy, because chip resistance equipment delivery time is still 8 to 10 months, in addition to Kunshan area in addition to limiting the row, recently affected by heavy snow weather, the local government due to network overload The daily limit of electricity is limited to 6-8 hours. Taiwanese manufacturers frankly say that Kunshan's production conditions have exerted great psychological and production pressure on manufacturers. Kunshan now has three major resistance manufacturers: Mong Quan, Sheng Sheng and Li Zhi. It remains to be seen what influences the resistance production release.
