What happened
Buyers responded to tightening analog-chip availability by ordering earlier, signing long-term supply agreements and increasing inventory buffers. Among survey respondents, 73% had placed orders early or signed long-term agreements, while 53% had added inventory or safety stock.S1 Shortage concern increased three percentage points from the previous quarter, reaching 70% among distributors and 76% among direct buyers.S1
The True Analog inventory index fell 7% from the previous quarter to 85, while the Power Analog index fell 10% to 76. Both indexes were measured against a first-quarter 2024 baseline of 100 and were down 15% and 18% from a year earlier, respectively.S1 Average selling prices rose 12% for True Analog and 9% for Power Analog over the preceding quarter.S1
Microcontroller inventories declined, but pricing moved differently by product group: the microcontroller inventory index stood at 91, microcontroller prices fell 7%, and discrete-component prices increased 34%.S1 Demand readings remained positive, and 65% of respondents reported longer delivery times.S1

Background timeline
XAIPART take
Technical impact
XAIPART analysis: Design teams should verify whether selected analog parts are exposed to distributor allocation, rather than treating broad category indexes as part-specific availability data. Engineers may need to qualify alternates earlier because changing an analog device can affect calibration, timing, power behavior and board validation.
Market impact
XAIPART analysis: Falling inventories and longer delivery times point to tighter procurement conditions for analog components. Buyers should compare supplier lead times, minimum order quantities and safety-stock policy across approved manufacturers, while recognizing that the report does not disclose component-specific lead times.
Action
XAIPART analysis: Procurement teams should map critical analog BOM lines to authorized sources, confirm allocation status and document alternate-device qualification requirements. Purchasing should obtain current quotations and avoid relying on the reported average-price increases as a substitute for a supplier-specific landed-cost check.
XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART analysis: If at least 70% of surveyed distributors and direct buyers continue to report shortage concerns by the next quarterly reading, XAIPART expects analog-chip availability to remain constrained for at least the following quarter, measured by delivery times for approved parts rather than category indexes alone. This forecast is unconfirmed and depends on the source survey continuing to represent the relevant procurement market.
