The global chip shortage has been burning for more than a year, and many consumer products have been affected by the chip shortage, which has hindered the development of the global economy. This phenomenon has continued from 2020 to today. According to TrendForce data, the price of power supply chips (PMICs) has been rising due to the shortage of materials due to supply problems in the semiconductor industry.

Influenced by internal and external factors, the sound of "rising" is loud

In the past two years, due to the comprehensive impact of external factors such as epidemic situation and inflation, as well as internal factors such as tight supply, the prices of raw materials, chips, devices, etc. have risen to different degrees throughout the industrial chain. Among them, PMIC power management chip is one of the most affected categories in last year's core shortage tide. It is regarded as the "heart" of the power supply of electronic equipment. The functions that can be realized usually include voltage converter and voltage regulator, battery charger, battery power meter, LED driver, real time clock, power sequencer and power control. It has become the hottest category in the semiconductor market. Many brands/system manufacturers have mentioned it among all ICs, The most missing is the power management chip.

From the perspective of the current product structure, consumer electronics, communications, industrial control equipment, automotive terminals and other fields have sustained demand for PMIC, and various products have promoted a sharp increase in demand. At present, PMIC power management chips are mostly used in the field of consumer electronics. Not only that, small household appliances such as health care pots and air fryers also bring a lot of market development space for power management chips, and the market demand for power management chips is growing.

Tight production capacity and extended delivery time

In this context, the power management chip used for the fish lamp has been in short supply. Since the second quarter of 2022, under the continuous impact of the COVID-19 and the situation in Russia and Ukraine, global inflation has intensified, greatly curbing everyone's demand for electronic consumption, and some chip prices have begun to "plunge". Since 2020, some global factories and international IDM have successively announced the expansion of production, but this does not mean that with the completion of plant construction, capacity can be rapidly converted into production, and the market will soon enter overcapacity. PMIC now generally has a long delivery period, which is between 12 and 26 weeks for consumer electronics and between 40 and 52 weeks for automotive products.

GSEO LED fish collecting lamp has the characteristics of energy conservation, environmental protection, safety and reliability, long service life, etc. It saves more than 40% of fuel consumption, has a service life of more than 5 years, and has low maintenance costs. It also plays a positive role in improving the crew's working environment and avoiding damage caused by high-power metal halide light.
