The car chip crisis is getting more and more intense, what is the main cause of the chip crisis?

The issue of chip crisis in automobiles has now become a difficult problem for automobile friends. The whole supply chain from top to bottom hope that the upstream manufacturers through the redistribution of chip production to tide over the temporary crisis. Ford Motor announced a shortage of automotive chips and weak demand, followed by China's intelligent automotive industry development is blocked. Currently, the automotive chip R & D and mass production links in what place the problem, how to adjust or the focus of the global automotive industry.

In the epidemic, car dealers in the car inventory for the planned mass production, at the same time the automotive semiconductor chip shortage has also brought new changes to the automotive industry. The shortage of semiconductor chips is the key to the crisis of most of the world's automobile brands, such as Toyota and Ford. IHS Market Sector said that the current global chip supply can last until the second quarter, for automakers, although it can restore the inventory base production of cars, and can not restore strong productivity. For the global automotive supply chain will produce a certain disconnect, the impact covers five continents, the supply chain disruption for the automotive industry is a huge blow.

We all know that the car is a supply chain for the overall assembly, the lack of a link for the automotive industry losses are huge. For the automotive industry, the shortage of semiconductor chips is a problem that will bring about the closure of automobile factories. Subject to the impact of the epidemic, most chip suppliers have taken measures to reduce production capacity or plant closure, coupled with people's predictions for the car market is subjective and passive, the supplier will be based on the actual order situation to plan the production capacity of automotive semiconductor chips, which is the so-called on-demand production, will not be able to fully meet the market demand. On the other hand, chip suppliers for the automotive industry capacity decline in a timely manner to adjust their marketing direction to other industries such as gaming, smart phones, medical devices, in the form of competition to obtain the chip, for the automotive market itself has little chance of winning.

Automotive semiconductor suppliers in the period from 2019 to 2020 is also constantly looking for new developments, they maintain zero inventory supply at the same time also actively on the future market demand forecasts, for the shortage of chips will also continue to increase investment in the automobile, the manufacturer of the car needs to be selected by the current market to favor the car model, the high profit model for advance Consideration is being given to marginal models at the expense of the current market. For semiconductor chip manufacturers may also need with the automotive market rebound, increase the mass production of automotive semiconductor chips, so as to solve the current chip shortage problem.
