Now that the market seems to be improving, Anglia Components has addressed market worries that lead times are expected to move out quickly later in the year. Numerous news sources report that the excess inventory that had accumulated over the previous two years has largely been used up, and Texas Instruments (TI) has announced a global price hike for more than 3,300 SKUs of analogue products worldwide.
Distributor advises ‘lead times likely to move out rapidly’ as market picks up
The majority of price increases, according to analyst firm Bernstein, are below 30% and target general-purpose analogue components, where competition is intense. Prices for a smaller percentage of high-precision ADC/DAC chips will rise by more than 100%.
Anglia is urging customers to exercise caution and place forward orders as soon as possible in order to safeguard themselves against the supply chain instability that will inevitably result from this.
Leadership Comments
Comments John Bowman, Anglia’s Marketing Director: “All the signs are showing that the market is picking up rapidly, and the theme from many suppliers at our recent sales conference centred on their concerns that if customers do not start placing backlog now, they will run into problems later this year as lead-times are forecast to quickly lengthen.”
