AI servers squeeze MOSFET supply while PC slump tests power component pricing power
The rise of AI servers is significantly tightening Taiwan's MOSFET supply chain, which in turn boosts demand for power management integrated circuits (PMICs), cooling motors, and other related products. Meanwhile, the slump in the PC market challenges suppliers as they struggle to pass on higher costs to consumers. Companies like MediaTek have already indicated intent to raise prices on constrained products.
