SUPPLY CHAIN ADVISORY BULLETIN
Advance Planning Recommended for 2026-2027 Production Requirements
Dear Valued Customer,
Microtips Technology continuously monitors global supply chain conditions to help our customers plan effectively and minimize the risk of production disruptions.
Recent reports from multiple electronics industry organizations indicate renewed tightening in the global semiconductor and electronic component supply chain. Increasing demand from AI infrastructure, industrial automation, automotive electronics, medical devices, and energy management systems is placing additional pressure on semiconductor manufacturing capacity and the availability of critical electronic components.
Industry analysts are reporting:
- Increasing lead times across numerous semiconductor and electronic component categories.
- Continued allocation of selected Display Driver ICs (DDICs), memory devices, power management ICs, and passive components.
- Rising material, manufacturing, and logistics costs resulting in ongoing price increases throughout the electronics supply chain.
- Continued market uncertainty expected throughout 2026 and potentially into 2027.
Although Microtips Technology is working closely with our manufacturing partners to secure component allocations and maintain inventory wherever practical, certain market conditions remain outside our control.
Customer Planning Recommendations
To help ensure uninterrupted production and improve supply continuity, we strongly recommend that customers:
- Review anticipated production requirements for the next 12 months.
- Update demand forecasts with your Microtips sales representative.
- Place purchase orders or blanket purchase orders as early as practical.
- Communicate significant demand changes promptly to allow adequate material planning.
Early demand visibility enables Microtips to secure long-lead components, reserve manufacturing capacity, and better support scheduled production requirements.
Important Customer Advisory
Based on current industry conditions, customers should anticipate:
- Lead times on selected products may extend to 20–24 weeks, depending on semiconductor and component availability.
- Product pricing may require adjustment if significant increases are implemented by semiconductor manufacturers or electronic component suppliers.
- Early purchase commitments are strongly encouraged to improve supply continuity and reduce the risk of production delays.
Microtips Technology remains committed to providing reliable supply, responsive customer support, and proactive communication as market conditions evolve. We appreciate your continued confidence and partnership, and we encourage you to contact your Microtips sales representative to review your forecast and production schedule.
Thank you for your continued business.
Sincerely,
