The impact of the chip shortage on the home appliance industry began to appear at the end of last year. On the one hand, the chip industry chain is under pressure from stock shortages. On the other hand, with the continuous improvement of frequency conversion and intelligence of home appliances, the amount of core consumption has been increasing.

According to relevant industry reports, China's new energy vehicles are expected to reach 6-7 million in 2025, and it is estimated that China's new energy vehicle semiconductor market is expected to reach 6.28 billion-732 billion US dollars in 2025. Industry insiders also revealed that in the field of semiconductors, the demand for semiconductors in electric vehicles will increase by 5-10 compared with the demand for semiconductors in traditional vehicles.

Hyundai Motor said more than a month ago that the continuing report of the body chip shortage is unlikely to be worse than it is now. Although the automaker’s views are more positive than most people in the industry, at the beginning of last week, Mercedes recently stated that The shortage of automotive chips may continue until 2023.

Infineon CEO Ploss said at the opening ceremony of this new power semiconductor fab that chip prices are expected to rise sharply in the future, adding that semiconductor manufacturers need to pay investment costs to meet booming demand.

According to the latest information from the Central Meteorological Administration, at 1:49 this afternoon, an earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale occurred in Taiwan, China, with a depth of 30.2 kilometers. The epicenter is 23.5 kilometers northeast of the Hualien County Government. The largest earthquake intensity is Hualien County, Yilan County and Nantou County level 4.

While major industries around the world are facing a chip shortage, the demand for the entire chip industry is also steadily rising, and most companies in the semiconductor industry have also ushered in their own performance highlights.
