Week 52, 2025 Electronics Component Industry Highlights
📅 (2025/12/22 – 2025/12/28)
🌏 Global Industry Overview (Week 52)
Week 52 marked a year-end “closeout + pre-stocking” cycle, with demand shaped by AI infrastructure buildout, rising material costs, and a clearer shift of bargaining power back to the manufacturing side.
🔹 Foundry Pricing Turns Up (Manufacturing-Side Leverage Returns)
-
Mature nodes lead the hike: 8-inch BCD and other mature processes reportedly moved higher first, driven by exploding demand for PMIC / power-related ICs tied to AI servers.
-
Advanced nodes remain structurally firm: pricing pressure is expected to persist into 2026 as leading-edge capacity stays tight.
-
Cost pass-through begins: BOM costs are likely to rise across modules and end devices into Q1 2026.
🔹 Memory “Supercycle” Accelerates (NAND + HBM Tightness)
-
NAND spot and wafer pricing strengthened as SSD and enterprise storage absorb supply.
-
HBM premium expands as capacity remains locked by long-term AI orders into 2026.
-
Legacy memory tails (DDR4 / older parts) continue to show sharp price dislocations where supply is structurally constrained.
🔹 Packaging & Substrate: ABF Becomes a Bottleneck Again
-
AI server upgrades are pulling high-end substrates + high-speed materials tighter.
-
ABF constraints and advanced materials availability are increasingly important for AI compute scaling.
🔹 Supply Chain Behavior: “Pay First, Queue First” Pre-Stocking
-
As policy uncertainty carries into 2026, procurement behavior has shifted toward earlier booking, especially for power, memory, and key passives.
📈 Top Demand Models
| Rank | Model | WoW Change | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | W25Q128JVSIQ | 🔻6.50% | SPI Flash – still the #1 searched workhorse, mild pullback |
| 2 | MT41K256M16TW-107:P | 🔻13.46% | DDR3L – demand cooled after earlier strength |
| 3 | KLM8G1GETF-B041 | 🔻1.88% | eMMC – stable demand, minor correction |
| 4 | ADL5385ACPZ | 🔻42.15% | RF/Analog – sharp cooling after prior spike |
| 5 | ICM-42688-P | 🔻13.71% | 6-axis MEMS – normalization after recent strength |
| 6 | STM32F407VET6 | 🔻0.46% | MCU – essentially flat (steady industrial pull) |
| 7 | STM32F103RCT6 | 🔺3.39% | MCU – modest rebound into year-end builds |
| 8 | MT41K256M16TW-107:P | 🔺24.27% | DDR3L – mixed signal (multi-channel sourcing / split demand) |
| 9 | W25Q64JVSSIQ | 🔻6.74% | SPI Flash – mild pullback, still active |
| 10 | STM8S003F3P6TR | 🔻22.09% | MCU – demand easing, possible inventory digestion |
Note: MT41K256M16TW-107:P appears twice with opposite WoW moves—this usually reflects split-channel demand (different customer segments / supply sources) rather than a clean one-direction trend.
