Continuous active investment in facilities by each electronic component supplier

摘要

Electronic Components Suppliers continue to make an active investment in facilities. This is because that the market is expanding for information communications equipment such as cellular phones and digital equipment, resulting in a rapid increase in related components. Each components supplier has been making an investment in facilities since last year and these facilities gradually begin to operate. Most of suppliers are planning to operate their facilities on a full scale within this year or from next spring. As a result, a lack of components that was a problem for a certain period will be greatly solved. However, there are some views that a shortage of components will turn to excessive supply because mass production will start at a stretch.
