Kyocera will invest approximately 6 billion yen to expand passive component production, aiming to double the capacity of its Plant 5-1 in fiscal year 2027 compared to fiscal year 2026. This expansion, driven by AI demand, is expected to be completed by March 2028.
AI-driven demand is tightening the supply of fundamental passive components, forcing major suppliers like Kyocera to commit significant capital to expand capacity.
