Svmuu reports that Citrini analyst jukan stated on the X platform that, starting July 1, Murata will raise the ex-factory price of its full range of power inductors by 50%; Taiyo Yuden will uniformly raise the spot price of power inductor models with supply constraints by 150% and increase the price of standard models by 35%.
Note: This round of power inductor price hikes is the latest continuation of the passive component price surge since the end of 2025. Price increases have gradually spread from tantalum capacitors → resistors → MLCCs/ferrite beads to power inductors. Japanese giants (Murata, Taiyo Yuden) have strong pricing power in high-end products, while Taiwanese and mainland Chinese manufacturers (such as Yageo, Walsin Technology, Fenghua, and Sunlord) have followed up with multiple rounds of increases.
