Don't Get Caught
by the Market
Free bi-weekly updates on component pricing, lead times, and supply chain developments. Built for teams running programs that last years, not just quarters.
Most Hardware Teams Can Answer Only One Question
When cost targets are missed, teams typically focus on a familiar response: negotiate harder, find alternative suppliers, push for discounts...Those tactics matter, but after lock-in, programs can’t easily be redesigned.
The teams that protect long production runs answer three questions well before the negotiation table:
How should we design to hit our cost targets?
Competitive architectures often reveal opportunities long before a design is locked for the next five to ten years.
What should we actually be paying across the life of the program?
Without independent market benchmarks, supplier pricing becomes the default reality.
When should lock in pricing and commit?
On a multi-year program, timing a purchase against where a category is actually headed can matter as much as the negotiation itself.
Why Market Intelligence Matters More Than Ever
Electronics supply chains continue to shift, and a program locked today needs to survive:
- AI infrastructure reshaping demand across semiconductors and passive components.
- Memory markets continue to experience pricing volatility.
- MLCC and tantalum capacitor suppliers have announced pricing increases.
- Lead times across critical categories are beginning to extend.
- Raw material and substrate shortages continue to influence component availability.
Are you seeing those changes before they impact your program?
