Asian MLCC Industry
Introducing our long-term S&D model with a multi-year bullish view; prefer JP/TW names over KR
- We introduce our MLCC S-D model which predicts a supply shortage view through 2028E. Our Global MLCC S-D model includes historical updates and a forward three-year outlook. We forecast S-D shortage mainly propelled by server compute demand growth and unique capacity constraint factors. We expect the degree of tightness in the 26-28E cycle (from 10% oversupply in 25 to 6% shortage by 28E) to be slightly worse than that of the 201718 cycle (leading supplier's end-of-life program led a procurement demand spike amid first cloud capex and then first-gen EV demand take-off cycle) and estimate high-50% ASP growth during the same period (similar range of growth to that of the 2016-18 cycle).
- Server compute drivers' TAM expansion. Server is the single most important application in the MLCC industry which has seen a sharp surge in customer capacity allocation requests (both AI and GP server demand) and we have also seen relatively resilient automotive MLCC demand. While consumer electronics' end demand remains challenging, procurement activities are slightly different as customers (incl. distributor channels) will start to notice a tightening of supply. We forecast the MLCC industry TAM to be above US $30bn (2025-28E CAGR of 24% vs. '2016-19 CAGR of +16%) with a larger impact from the ASP uptick. As a result, we estimate a higher margin profile in coming years (industry OPM at 38% in 2028E vs. 36% in '18), consistent with other commodity tech sectors (e.g. memory, substrate and others).
- Higher capacity trade loss ratio from server/auto mix increase and yield challenge is an underappreciated point. MLCC industry nameplate capacity has historically grown ~10% in the past ten years; however, effective capacity (after production penalty and yield adjustment) indicates considerably limited supply output versus growing procurement demand. Auto and Server MLCC are mainly designed based on larger form-factor vs. IT applications, and higher system power voltage requirements lead to the use of advanced specs. Furthermore, we have seen a sharp rise in new MLCC specs with ultra-high capacitance (e.g. 1005-47uf) for AI server applications (on the back of rising interest from both leading GPU and ASIC camp customers) resulting in a declining assembly yield in the leading supplier's capacity. Such capacity penalties (or trade losses) are accelerating this year (DD% negative impact on headline capacity growth in the next three years vs. low-to-mid single-digit % impact in the past five years), and is not fully understood by investors, in our view.
- Investment recommendations - JP/TW over KR on valuation merit . MLCC suppliers have collectively delivered a 268% 2026 YTD return (vs. MXAP +16%) well outperforming the rest of the technology hardware subsector, and its aggregate market cap stands at US$354bn trading at 61x/40x/30x FY26-28E on consensus EPS. Given the early stage of the industry transition towards the AI ecosystem, we believe consensus earnings revisions tend to lag and expect investors to focus on the growth momentum. That said, share price momentum may remain strong in 2H26E and we stay

constructive on the sector's growth prospects. We have an OW view on all major MLCC players in Asia and believe Japan ( Murata > Taiyo Yuden > TDK ) and Taiwan ( Yageo ) peers present greater upside over their Korean peers ( SEMCO ) due to attractive valuation.
- Key risks and catalysts . AI server-grade MLCC (using side-gap construction method) is a relatively new SKU in the industry and we are seeing meaningful R&D activity pick up to accommodate higher power requirements for next-generation server systems. As discussed earlier, assembly yield tends to be 3-6x lower than that of normal MLCC and there are only a few selective suppliers who can scale up to meaningful volumes. This is likely to limit the production output for a considerable period and end customers' procurement appetite could be substantially higher regardless of price point. This remains a key upside risk point to the pricing and margin profile for AI MLCC and the spillover effect to IT and commodity segment will be a key monitoring point. We will closely follow suppliers' production and capacity-related commentary to assess the realistic supply increase and consequent S-D situation. Secondary market pricing has traditionally been a leading indicator of contract pricing sentiment and we will closely follow the trends.
