Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., for example, unveiled their newest GRM series MLCCs in May 2023. The new variant meets the rising need for novel components that combine high capacitance levels, small sizes, and enhanced temperature performance.
Avatech confirmed in May 2023 that it plans to invest 101.8 billion won in the Gumi 5 National Industrial Complex Hi-Tech Valley to develop its MLCC manufacturing line. The development is scheduled to be completed by 2024. Avatech has signed an MOU with North Gyeongsang Province and Gumi City, which enhances the investment agreement. Avatech wants to expand its global supply chain and meet the rising demand for MLCCs in a range of sectors with this investment. The expansion will help the firm expand while cementing itself as a market leader.
Companies establish partnerships with semiconductor makers, electronic device manufacturers, or technology businesses to co-develop solutions for specific industrial demands. These collaborations not only diversify product options but also enable access to new markets and customer bases. Collaborations could result in R&D projects, helping firms to remain ahead of technology advancements.
Companies usually use acquisitions and mergers to increase their market share. Companies that acquire or integrate with other MLCC makers or related industries might benefit from synergies, economies of scale, and a larger product range. This proactive strategy helps firms boost their competitiveness, widen their market reach, and strengthen their position in the MLCC industry.
Customer-centric strategies help garner and retain market share. Manufacturers are working on studying consumer preferences, tastes, and expectations to help design their MLCC products accordingly. Companies now know that providing customizable models and services and assuring timely delivery will translate to customer happiness as well as loyalty. Repeat business and positive word-of-mouth from satisfied consumers may help a company's market share rise over time.
By actively managing the supply chain, alternating sources of sourcing and optimizing inventories companies are best able to absorb such shocks but still be continuously able to supply products needed on the market. Such resilience can even be of competitive advantage in a situation where reliability and promptness are the keys to success.
Other methods of positioning in the multi-layer ceramic capacitor market include differentiation, pricing, strategic alliances and regional development. Some acquire new companies; some develop their customers and suppliers into loyal partners; others design better supply chains that are more resilient to sudden changes. It is only through considerate evaluation of their internal situations, the market environment and consumer trends that companies can come up with a strategic plan that not only keeps them right where they are but also puts them in place to take advantage of future opportunities.
