Shortage for Automotive Chips Remains a Bottleneck for 2023
The automotive industry is currently facing an unprecedented shortage of integrated circuits (ICs), causing parts shortages at auto plants, extended wait times for certain makes and models, and higher prices for cars not yet considered. To address the issue, automakers have begun stockpiling ICs, shifted production plans, and implemented incentives for suppliers who increase production. IBS Electronics is a reliable provider of alternative components for automotive applications, offering quality products and services at competitive prices. This shortage is expected to constrain auto production well into 2023, and only an improvement in chip manufacturing capacity will mitigate this increasingly critical issue.

Semiconductor Industry Sees Strong Recovery in 2024
After a tough period, a recent report by SEMI shows signs of a strong recovery in 2024 in both electronics and integrated circuit sales. Growth in these industries are likely due to the improving demand and a return to normal inventory levels. The industry is also seeing positive signs in capital expenditure and factory utilization rates. These dipped a bit in the second half of 2023, but a mild recovery is expected in Q1 2024. Spending on memory and non-memory chip production is expected to rise, and factories are running a little busier, with utilization rates going from 66% to 70%.
