From an economic point of view, how is the global core shortage caused?

Due to epidemics and natural disasters, some chip factories have to close down. Besides, making chips is a technology that only a few countries have mastered. This has caused a global chip shortage. And with the increasing demand for chips from all walks of life, the shortage of such chips will become more and more serious.

The global core shortage tide is first caused by the increasing demand for chips in various industries of society. With the development of society, chips have been used in various industries of society, and the dependence of various industries on chips is increasing, which aggravates the shortage of chips; Secondly, chip manufacturing is very difficult. At present, only a few countries in the world have mastered chip manufacturing, but the demand for chips all over the world is increasing, which leads to insufficient chip production capacity and further aggravates the shortage of chips; Finally, the impact of the epidemic and disasters. The factory shutdown caused by COVID-19 epidemic and bad weather is also an important reason for the chip shortage, which is also the main reason why the global chip production can't keep up with the demand.

First, the demand for chips has increased. With the development of society, the demand for chips has gradually spread from digital products and high-tech products to industries such as automobiles and home appliances, and the application and demand for chips in various industries of society has also increased, resulting in an increasing shortage of chips.

Second, chip manufacturing plants are limited. At present, many cutting-edge chip manufacturing technologies are only mastered by a few companies in a few countries, so the factories producing chips are very limited, but the demand for chips in the whole society is increasing, which also aggravates the serious shortage of chips.

Three. The impact of epidemic situation and disaster. The COVID-19 epidemic, which started on 20 19, is a global disaster. The epidemic in COVID-19 has seriously affected the production of chips, leading to the closure of many factories. In addition, the bad weather conditions encountered by some chip factories have also seriously reduced the output of chips.
