Thank you !

With the changing economic landscape and evolving consumer behavior, industries will continue their path of digital transformation. This means that the demand for semiconductors will increase. This prompts chipmakers and governments worldwide to work hard in closing the gap.

TSMC, the world’s leading semiconductor foundry, has pledged to invest $100 million to increase capacity over the next three years. Samsung and SK Hynix have teamed up with the South Korean government and spent $451 billion for the same venture.

Members of the European Union have their plans as well. The UK government is yet to reveal what they are precisely, but the idea is to help the local chip sector grow its capacity in their supply chains.

Both private and public sectors are determined to end the chip shortage. However, many challenges (policy making, local and international covid restrictions, etc.) need to be addressed before things get going.

Industry experts were optimistic at first, expecting the chip supply to recover by the end of 2021. Historically, demand for semiconductors declines every fourth quarter of the year, which should give chipmakers a chance to catch up.

That is not the case so far. It appears that the decrease in demand is not big enough for foundries to make a significant dent in the current imbalance.

They were forced to revise their initial opinion, and they now fear that the chip shortage could last until next year, maybe even until 2023.

We have to look at several factors that created this shortage tsunami that blindsided everyone. We have broken them down into the following: supply, demand, unfortunate events, and poor decision-making.

Surge in Demand
When Covid-19 restrictions rolled out worldwide, stay-at-home mandates were the norm to prevent the transmission and spread of the virus. Everyone shifted to work from home setups, businesses went online, and messaging applications were downloaded immediately. Consequently, demand for additional electronic gadgets skyrocketed. People upgraded their laptops, purchased new desktops, more tablets, etc., to meet the requirements of the current situation.

This bottlenecked supply chains, as retailers did not prepare for the sudden increase in demand for new requirements. Add the existing projects in their pipelines, and you have the perfect recipe for a global semiconductor disaster.

Bad Luck
Aside from facing COVID-related challenges, some of the biggest foundries in the world were hit by a series of unfortunate events that disrupted their production process even more.

On March 19, an electric overload burned down 600 square meters of the Renesas plant in Naka, one of the most prominent players in the global chip market. It destroyed 23 machines and rendered other areas in the facility temporarily unfit for use.

The plant was running to total capacity again by June, but the damage has been done.

In Taiwan, the worst drought in recent memory threatened to make the chip shortage even worse. Producing chips require tremendous amounts of water, which the drought is making impossible to do. In Texas, winter storms forced some of the country’s only chip plants to stop production.

Still, there are only a handful of big chip manufacturers globally, making the semiconductor industry more vulnerable.
