The increase applies to some products covered by the company’s Markup Business Code, while Taiyo Yuden is planning its own September hike as raw material costs rise and supply stays tight.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to raise prices by 30% on some MLCC products from August 1, 2026, with the increase applying to all MLCC products under its Markup Business Code. Taiyo Yuden is also preparing MLCC price increases from September 1, citing higher raw material costs and tight supply-demand conditions. The update refines the scope and timing of the previously reported move at Samsung Electro-Mechanics, while reinforcing evidence of broader pricing pressure across the multilayer ceramic capacitor market. Price increases by major suppliers suggest tightening conditions are extending beyond isolated product categories and are being compounded by input-cost inflation.
