Shortage for Automotive Chips Remains a Bottleneck for 2023

The automotive industry is currently facing an unprecedented shortage of integrated circuits (ICs), causing parts shortages at auto plants, extended wait times for certain makes and models, and higher prices for cars not yet considered. To address the issue, automakers have begun stockpiling ICs, shifted production plans, and implemented incentives for suppliers who increase production. IBS Electronics is a reliable provider of alternative components for automotive applications, offering quality products and services at competitive prices. This shortage is expected to constrain auto production well into 2023, and only an improvement in chip manufacturing capacity will mitigate this increasingly critical issue.

Chipmakers are Gearing up for Metalens Opportunities

Since the debut of the first Augmented Reality (AR) smart glasses product in 2011, numerous firms have introduced variations of consumer-focused smart glasses and headgear, but mass-market consumer adoption has been slow due to bulky, heavy, and costly components. To address these issues, researchers at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have been working to create the next generation of lenses that use nanostructures to focus light and are thinner, lighter, and more cost-effective. Now, Taiwanese companies are gearing up to meet the surge in demand for metalens-based VR and AR systems from Meta, Sony, and Apple, which are set to arrive in late February 2023.

Foreseeing the Semiconductor Conundrum: Major Chip Foundries Rollback Investment Plans for 2023

In the last quarter, demand for semiconductors drove sales growth, however, the outlook for Q4 looks dim as demand for semiconductors in all applications significantly weakened, leading to major chip foundries rolling back their capital expenditure. This has caused a shortage of components and price hikes, resulting in inventory adjustments and price drops in the consumer electronics industry. Experts predict that this trend will continue throughout the first half of 2023, urging supply chain professionals to digitize to avoid difficulties.

India’s Initiative to Technological Independence

India aims to establish a self-sufficient semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on global supply chains. The Semiconductor Mission and Semicon program aim to create a domestic ecosystem with "hi-tech, high quality and high reliability." The country's semiconductor consumption is expected to reach $110 billion by 2030. In addition, India is investing in EV and smartphone manufacturing and preparing for the rollout of 5G and 6G networks to boost the economy and labor force.
