Recently, Foxconn Chairman Liu Yongtu said of the global chip shortage, "Since most of the customers we serve are large customers and they have appropriate preventive plans, the impact on these large customers is limited." ”
The global spread of COVID-19 in 2020 has increased demand for laptops, gaming consoles and other electronics, and the auto industry's sharp decline in the first half of last year has reduced the capacity reserved by chipmakers for car companies, however, by early 2021, the inventory of car companies gradually reduced before realizing the chip supply shortage, so that some car companies even because of the lack of chip supply and stop production.
Coupled with the recent Texas storm, Samsung's wafer foundry in Texas has been shut down again, while NXP and Infineon, which are primarily targeting automotion semiconductors, have also been affected, adding to tensions over automotion semiconductors.
