According to the Finance Associated Press, in order to solve the shortage of supply, global semiconductor manufacturers are rapidly advancing production increase preparations. In order to meet demand, large semiconductor manufacturers have begun to increase their holdings of raw materials, etc. The inventory held by nine large manufacturers in the latest quarter hit a record high. However, due to the tendency of customers to place more orders than necessary, actual demand is becoming increasingly difficult to predict.
According to a Japanese media report on July 29, the “chip shortage” is still continuing around the world, and it may not be relieved until next year. Due to the shortage of chips in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, semiconductor production capacity is difficult to expand rapidly.
Semiconductor supply continues to be tight, which has affected many fields such as automobiles and consumer electronics. Many car companies have suspended or reduced production due to a "core shortage". Shortfall in supply has led to tight prices, and some dealers have maliciously increased prices.
Previously, CCTV had criticized that “lack of cores” is not a reason for “speculation of cores” and that illegal price behaviors should be curbed and market prices should be maintained.
