Display-driven IC out-of-stock chip segment is sought after, concept stocks benefit

SMM News: tight production capacity superimposed demand, display-driven IC or continuous shortage, related concept stocks are expected to be sought after by the market.

Affected by the epidemic, the demand for telecommuting from home and online education around the world has increased, leading to the market demand for tablet computers, laptops and other products, as well as the demand for display-driven IC, according to Ji WeChat. Coupled with the rebound in demand in the TV panel market since the third quarter, the overall supply in the display-driven IC market is tight.

Industry insiders pointed out that due to the shortage of upstream 8-inch wafer foundry capacity, the supply gap of display-driven IC reached 15% to 20%, which is not expected to ease until mid-2021. At present, the price increase of wafer is more than 10%, while the price increase of display-driven IC depends on the ability of different manufacturers to absorb costs. For IC manufacturers, driving the rise of IC volume and price is obviously good news, especially for those who have a certain inventory.
