According to Bloomberg, сьогодні галузь відчуває найбільший дефіцит напівпровідникової продукції за останні роки, який з’явився рік тому, а зараз став набагато гірше.
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, many car and consumer electronics manufacturers have reduced orders for semiconductor products and are now trying to increase supplies without success.
Industry analysts say the automotive industry has been hit the hardest, but the problem is becoming more serious in the consumer electronics market. Apple's iPhone 12 production is expected to suffer.
Apple recently confirmed that production of the new iPhone 12 is being held back by a shortage of Qualcomm semiconductor products. Sony has also said it will not be able to fully meet demand for the PlayStation 5 due to supply issues. At the same time, the shortage led to an increase in the price of semiconductors.
Microsoft said chip shortages will persist into the first half of 2021; and AMD CEO Lisa Su believes shortages will be the norm through 2021.
It is reported that the auto industry has already lost about 61 billion dollars.
