The global chip crisis continues to make its impact felt all over the world. Especially in the beginning of 2020, Covid-19 and the quarantine process, which affected the whole world, also negatively affected semiconductor production. Complete closure and increasing diseases in many parts of the world have led to the formation of supply chains.
According to Volkswagen, the chip crisis will continue in critical 2023
Big tech firms have had a hard time getting their products to market, along with their supply chains. Many products have been delayed and still have problems. According to the authorities, it does not seem possible that this problem will pass soon.
One of the biggest sectors hit by the chip crisis was automotive. According to Volkswagen, one of the most important names in the industry, we need to accept this crisis as normal for a while. The company adjusts itself to these conditions and argues that the crisis will not subside in 2023. Volkswagen Purchasing President Murat Aksel made the following statements on the subject.
New capacity investment is currently on the way, but there may be a structural shortfall in semiconductors up to 2023. It seems that it is a structural problem that cannot be resolved quickly. We must accept that what we have seen in the supply chain in the last two years is the new normal. As new geopolitical issues arise, they will become more complex and challenging, if any.
Domestic solution to the chip crisis! New passports are in use
The new passport, which uses domestic contactless chips, has been put on the production line as of this week. What are the new features?
On the other hand, US and Asian chip manufacturers warn that they will have to delay or reduce their US investment plans if the White House’s $52 billion investment proposal fails to pass. In addition, giant companies such as Intel and Samsung are making investments to counter the semiconductor and chip crisis, but another danger bell is ringing for these investments.
