How does the power tool industry seek a new way out under the background of [core shortage"

2021-06-25

On June 7th, according to foreign media reports, the global chip shortage that started in the automotive sector this year caused many automakers such as Ford and Hyundai to face the problem of chip shortages. It is still going on, and smart phones, home appliances and other fields are also emerging. News of a chip shortage. In addition to the recent outbreak of the epidemic in Southeast Asian countries and Taiwan, many chip factories have shut down operations. Southeast Asia is the world`s major semiconductor chip packaging and testing center, with a market share of 27% in the global chip packaging and testing market, which intensifies the industry`s concerns. The global chip shortage is further spreading concerns.

A recent Goldman Sachs research report pointed out that as many as 169 industries around the world are affected by the shortage of chips to some extent. From steel and concrete production to air-conditioning, beer production, and even soap production, they all face the problem of chip shortage. The intensification of global chip shortages makes it imperative for chip prices to rise.

Tencent Technology reported that the large gap between supply and demand in China's chip production capacity will continue for two years or more. In other words, the shortage of chips will continue for two years or more. And the microcontroller chip MCU, which has been fighting a price war in the market, has become the protagonist of this chip shortage. The price of chips continues to rise. It is a lot of downstream from the "unaffordable" chip MCU to the "unbuy" chip MCU. The common dilemma faced by enterprises, the problem of chip shortage has gradually spread from cutting-edge high-end chips to ordinary mature process products.

According to data released by IC Insights, in China, the application of chip MCUs is mainly concentrated in home appliances and other categories. Chip MCUs account for the largest proportion of consumer electronics applications, followed by chip MCUs in computers, and then chip MCUs in automotive electronics. In the application. As shown in the figure below, the chip MCU product distribution.
