While MLCC ASPs growth continues, thecompany has not implemented price hikes for identical products at this stage. Pricedeclines have become more moderate.Although demand for Al/data center MLCCsremains strong,Murata has been expanding production capacity by 10% annuallythrough F3/26, and plans a further 10% increase in F3/27, which should allow it tomeet demand growth through F3/27. Looking ahead to F3/28, demand for Al/datacenter applications is expected to increase substantially further.
