Week 18, 2025 Electronics Component Industry Highlights

📅 (2025/04/28 – 2025/05/04)

📉 Component Demand Drop

Despite a surge in select emerging models, mainstream parts saw a notable decline in inquiries. STM32F103C8T6 fell -63.72%, STM32F407VET6 dropped -58.19%, and LTM4644IY#PBF saw a -41.94% dip. These trends may reflect temporary saturation or inventory buffering by buyers.

📈 Component Demand Surge (Rising Models)

On the flip side, search volume exploded for newer or specialized parts:

• TMS320F28377DPTPS rose +177.78%,

• EP3C40F324I7N increased +175.70%,

• VN800PSTR-E jumped +105.88%,

• With notable traction also for AD9371BBCZ, MGA-68563-TR1G, and TPS53688RSBR.

💸 Top Price Trends

Top Price Increases:

• PIC12F675-I/P shot up +299.23%, followed by FDV301N (+276.34%), and AD7689BCPZRL7 (+226.67%) – with demand focusing on legacy MCUs, FETs, and precision ADCs.

• STM32L151RET6 also gained +197.53%, indicating MCU demand isn’t universally cooling off.

Top Price Declines:

• 2N2222A collapsed -99.60%, with TPS25221DBVR, BC857C, and CD4011BE also showing over 85% markdowns – likely due to excess inventory or design phaseouts.

🏭 Inventory Movements

Inventory Increases:

• Standouts include LTM4625IY#PBF (+974.22%), SHT30-ARP-B2.5KS, and JANTX2N2222A, signaling supplier replenishment and potential lead-time improvement.

Inventory Declines:

• Models like AD7793BRUZ (-99.81%), ULN2003AD, SJA1000T, and STM32G070CBT6TR are facing critical shortages – expect lead-time or price volatility if demand recovers.

🧠 Most Inquired Brands

Top brands remained stable:
TI, ADI, ST, onsemi, Microchip, and Infineon still dominate the top tier for weekly inquiries.

🚀 Brand Momentum Leaders

• OMRON (+45.21%), Relmon, Atmel, and SEMIKRON all saw inquiry growth above 40%, hinting at a rising interest in industrial control and power system solutions.

• Memory and connector specialists KIOXIA, Bel Fuse, and Deutsch also moved up significantly.

🔍 Top Product Categories

Categories with the most user activity:

• Microcontrollers, Rectifiers, TVS Diodes, Op-Amps, MOSFETs, and DC-DC converters held steady as core segments.

📊 Fastest Growing Categories:

• Emerging interest in:

  • Solid State Relays (+40.64%)

  • Card Edge Connectors, Active Filters, Antennas, and Circular Connectors

  • Zero-Delay Buffers, indicating timing-sensitive applications gaining traction.

🧠 Market Insight:
