China's July 2026 Manufacturing PMI Falls to 49.2%; Equipment and High-Tech Manufacturing Maintain Expansion

China's manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 49.2% in July 2026, entering contraction territory due to a high base from earlier rapid growth and the onset of the traditional off-season for some industries. The equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing PMIs stood at 51.4% and 53.3%, respectively, maintaining expansion. In contrast, consumer goods and high-energy consumption sectors weakened. The production index and new orders index declined to 49.9% and 48.5%, while input prices remained elevated at 53.2% and output prices fell to 47.8%.

Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Taiyo Yuden MLCC Shipments Hit Five-Year Monthly High in June 2026

In June 2026, MLCC shipments from Murata, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, and Taiyo Yuden reached a five-year monthly high, driven by AI demand. The shift of consumer-grade X5R capacity to AI-grade X6S/X7R squeezed supply of mid-to-high capacitance MLCCs (1uF-22uF), pushing inventory below 30 days for mainstream parts. Distributors raised prices by 20% to 25%, while spot prices surged to two to three times normal levels, creating a market with weak end demand but strong channel pricing.

NVIDIA Notifies AIC Partners of Full Price Adjustment for RTX 50 Series, Domestic Prices Rise 15% to 25%

NVIDIA last week notified AIC partners of a comprehensive price adjustment for the RTX 50 series graphics cards, leading to a 15% to 25% price increase across the lineup in China. The adjustment, the first such broad move since 2000, was driven by rising GDDR7 memory costs. Some RTX 5060 Ti non-reference models saw overnight increases of nearly 2,000 yuan.

Q2 2026 Mutual Fund Electronics Heavy Holdings Surge 155.46% to RMB 1.58 Trillion, 39.08% of Total, Overweight

In the second quarter of 2026, mutual fund heavy holdings in the electronics sector reached RMB 1,583.888 billion, up 155.46% quarter-on-quarter. The sector accounted for 39.08% of total fund heavy holdings, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 19.64%, and was overweight by 16.07%. Within the sector, the share of components rose while consumer electronics, semiconductors, other electronic components II, and optoelectronics declined slightly. Since July, the sector has undergone significant adjustments with valuations retreating. Fundamentals show increasing order certainty for semiconductor equipment, rising domestic computing orders and supply chain stocking, AI server demand driving PCB and AI power supply growth, continued memory price increases, and related activities spreading to consumer electronics.

MLCC Supply Tightens and Prices Rise Since 2026 on AI Computing Demand Surge

Since 2026, surging AI computing demand has tightened supply of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), driving prices higher and boosting the passive component industry. While MLCC prices have stabilized overall since July, divergence has increased, with high-end AI and automotive-grade high-capacity products continuing to rise. Strong AI server demand has locked up factory capacity, while precious metal raw material costs remain elevated.
