Tantalum Capacitor Lead Times Jump 65% in February
Tantalum ore prices, which we also track, have NOT increased accordingly but we forecast will now increase heading into the June 2017 quarter.
The passive component raw material index is also up by 5% in February signifying a global increase in demand from electronics.
the shortage of tantalum, a Western product line, is creating value regardless of currency.
The market in 2017 had been unusual, changing the forecasted value, but showing a shortage of units, resulting in price stability and price increases for tantalum.
