Future Electronic’s corporate VP, passives, Jacques Hing, explains why passive components can no longer be managed through traditional just-in-time procurement models For decades, capacitors and resistors were treated as low-cost commodities, essential but rarely strategic. In 2026, that mindset has become a huge liability. The global passive components market, valued at more than $45 billion, is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by artificial intelligence, … Read more
Component shortages shouldn’t come as a surprise If there is one thing I’ve learned from working in the electronics industry for four decades it’s that no matter how hard one tries you can’t escape the ‘cycle’. The frequency and amplitude might vary but as day follows night, demand rises, capacity tightens, lead times extend and suddenly the component that represented a tiny fraction of a product’s BoM becomes the reason it can’t be built. What … Read more
