Recently, the State Administration of market supervision imposed a fine of 2.5 million yuan on three automobile chip distribution enterprises, Shanghai Qite Electronics Co., Ltd., Shanghai Chengsheng Industrial Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Yuchang Technology Co., Ltd., for bid up the price of automobile chips. Next, the State Administration of market supervision will continue to pay close attention to the price order in the chip field, strengthen price monitoring, severely crack down on illegal acts such as hoarding and driving up prices, and maintain good market order < p > related reading: < / P > < p > chip shortage continues to impact the automotive industry < / P > < p > < / P > < p > source: & nbsp; CNR < / P > < p > the tight global chip supply continues to impact the automobile manufacturing industry. The latest data show that the shortage of chips has dragged down the production capacity of major automobile manufacturers to about 50% in August, and has reduced Mexico's automobile production this year to the same low point as last year < p > Mexico's automobile production in August dropped sharply by 21% year-on-year, and the output in the same period last year was lower than the usual level due to the impact of the epidemic. The president of the Mexican Automobile Chamber of Commerce, kuelvis, held a press conference on the 6th and said that the automobile production in August was 6.5% lower than the average value in the same period of the past decade < p > Mexico produced 3.75 million vehicles in 2019, slightly higher than 3 million last year. "Chip shortage has become a problem for car manufacturers to maintain their production level. We expect the total output this year to be about 3 million vehicles, close to last year's level," kuelvis said. He said that the country's automobile industry expects that the problem of chip supply tightening will continue until the second half of 2022 < p > according to Mexico's national statistics agency, local Mercedes Benz sales were the hardest hit by the epidemic. Last month, the output fell sharply by 63%, the output of General Motors also fell sharply by 59%, and the output of Mazda, a Japanese car enterprise, fell sharply by 47% < p > according to the statistics of autoforecast solutions, as of August 9, the global automobile production has been reduced by 5.85 million due to chip shortage. It is expected that the global automobile production will be reduced by more than 7 million in 2021 < p > similar to the view of the Mexican industry, many car manufacturers have delayed the expectation of chip shortage cycle < p > < / P > < p > Audi said on the 7th that it would reduce working hours at least until the middle of next year, because the German carmaker expects the semiconductor shortage to continue until next year, which will drag down production < p > crazy price rise of automobile chips: dealers' quotations are multiplied by 10 times directly, and it is difficult to trace dollar transactions < / P > < p > < / P > < p > source: & nbsp; Surging news < / P > < p > the year long shortage of auto chips still shows no signs of easing. Automobile demand recovers, but the insufficient supply of automobile chips makes more and more automobile enterprises passively reduce production and stop production, which has affected the normal operation of the automobile industry

recently, with COVID-19 Malaysia heating up, the closure of the chip sealing plant has intensified the tight supply of automobile chips, resulting in a number of automobile factories being shut down due to lack of spare parts supply. Chip foundries TSMC, liandian and Samsung have opened a new round of price increases, which will put pressure on automotive chips that are already at a high price < p > since the end of last year, the price of automobile chips has risen dozens or even hundreds of times. On August 3, in view of the prominent problems such as the hype and high prices in the auto chip market, the State Administration of market supervision said that it would file a case for investigation of auto chip distribution enterprises suspected of driving up prices according to price monitoring and reporting clues < p > according to the surging news reporter, since June this year, the price of automobile chips has remained high and will not rise. Although the prices of some models have dropped, the overall demand is still tight, and it is difficult to say that the inflection point is coming < p > for many chip dealers, this year is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It seems that the rising chip price has enabled them to make huge profits, even realize financial freedom, and complete the highlight of life that they had never expected < p > price increase: AKM's "flame" < / P > < p > on October 20, 2020, the chip factory of Asahi Huacheng Microelectronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "AKM") in Japan caught fire, which seems to many people that it is just an ordinary factory fire, but for dealers, it is an important signal that the price of automobile chips may rise < p > chip Superman is a new chip distribution platform. On the one hand, it provides a marketing platform for upstream chip design enterprises, and on the other hand, it provides intelligent application technology for downstream long tail terminal scenarios. Sister Hua, founder and CEO of "chip Superman", is also very concerned about the impact of this fire on the price of automobile chips. In fact, this fire ignited the hype of "automobile chip" for a year < p > "AKM didn't have many goods in the market. After the fire, the price of his goods began to rise. Bold (dealers) quoted several times the price to their customers and found that the customers could accept it. Then everyone continued to report the price and found that it was acceptable, which was crazy." sister Hua told the dealer's mentality at that time < p > for chip dealers, price speculation with the help of emergencies is a conventional routine, and everyone is no stranger. After the global financial crisis came out in 2009, the demand of the chip market increased greatly in a short time, the chips of Texas Instruments were fried, and many dealers made a fortune < p > when AKM chips are out of stock in the Chinese market, the next decision of these Chinese dealers is to "shop in overseas markets" < p > "although speculation has begun in China, there is still little news abroad, so sweep in all foreign goods with relatively low prices and make a time difference. When selling, add a '0' (i.e. 10 times) to sell, and then you find that you can sell them. Originally, it was 2-3 times the price, but now it is 20-30 times the price, which immediately hyped AKM products." Sister Hua believes that dealers' exploration of AKM chips successfully ignited the fire of auto chip speculation, and then more auto chips began to be hyped < p > STMicroelectronics is another heavyweight automotive chip supplier. With AKM's experience, the price of Italian French chips quickly rose from three or four to more than a dozen

"Doing this kind of work is like a gambler. The more you fry, the more fierce you are. You constantly try to test the bottom line of customers. It can't be pulled up in one breath. At the beginning, it's three or four times, and then it's a little higher. You find that the demand is still there, and the price is acceptable. Especially when there are not many goods from the original factory, you are more and more courageous. After the Spring Festival, after a horizontal trading period, everyone is happy about the Spring Festival After the Spring Festival, a chip with tens of yuan rose to one or two hundred, then to three or four hundred, and now to 8100 yuan. < / P > < p > the epidemic affected the integration of the supply chain ?
