Recently, due to the spread of the lack of core wave, many areas have been affected, SMM in the previous "[exploration] not only the automotive industry lack of" core "these areas will also be affected by shock waves! "Summary points out that the impact of core deficiency on the automobile industry is intensifying. At present, a large number of car companies have announced that they will reduce or stop production. Not only does the automobile industry suffer from core deficiency, but it is reported that electronic products such as security cameras and mobile phones are also suffering from shock waves." Security camera manufacturers used the main control chip, IPC SoC, memory chip, WiFi chip and other core components are out of stock, mainly upstream wafers, closed test capacity shortage caused by the semiconductor industry shortage. Samsung Electronics has also warned that chip shortages could spread from cars to smartphones.

At present, many chip companies are beginning to increase their production capacity to cope with the wave of core shortage. How big is the SMM in the "lack of core", the suspension of production by car companies, and the continuous domestic supply? The bibcock is seizing the tuyere expansion! A preliminary summary is made in this article. According to reports, in response to the shortage of automotive chips, TSMC, the world's largest chip contract manufacturer, plans to increase its advanced chip products by 20% from May. TSMC's current capacity is full, but TSMC has told Taiwan's economic authorities that if it can further increase production capacity, it will "optimize" the chip production process and give priority to increasing the production of automotive chips. In terms of international production capacity construction of SMIC, the domestic chip leader plans to expand 10, 000 pieces of mature 12-inch production line and not less than 45000 pieces of mature 8-inch production line this year. Under the influence of the entity list, the company will consider strengthening the development and construction of the first-generation and second-generation FinFET multi-platform, and expand the reliability and competitiveness of the platform. In the future, Huahong Semiconductor will speed up the production capacity construction of the 12-inch new plant in Wuxi, further alleviating the existing 8-inch capacity constraints.

Guosheng Securities believes that the semiconductor 2020 performance forecast is bright, high-quality leader has entered a new stage of growth. The mainland semiconductor industry has ushered in a ten-year golden climbing period, and a number of leading companies have entered a new stage of growth. According to the performance forecast for 2020, the net profit growth rate of semiconductors, especially integrated circuit plates, is high, with the net profit growth rate of 162% to 192%, and that of integrated circuit plates by 179% to 210% compared with the same period last year. Under the background of innovation cycle, domestic substitution and the return of talents in the industry, the semiconductor sector has a triple stack drive from product iteration, category expansion to customer breakthrough, so it has considerable revenue and profitability flexibility.

Silicon Metal Market Review for January and Outlook for February
In January, the silicon metal market experienced a relatively loose supply-demand balance, with a theoretical inventory buildup of approximately 30,000 mt. In February, both supply and demand contracted simultaneously, and the market is expected to show a tight balance or minor destocking. The current high industry inventory still requires time to be digested, and the sustainability of destocking remains a key variable affecting price trends and market sentiment.

A plant in northern China is calling for bids for indium ingots and bismuth ingots
SMM, February 6 - According to SMM’s investigation of market information, a large smelter in northern China began public bidding for a certain quantity of indium ingots and bismuth ingots starting yesterday. Market sources indicate that the starting price for these indium ingots exceeds 4,000 yuan per kilogram, while the starting price for bismuth ingots is above 150,000 yuan per ton. The bidding results are expected to be announced before the Spring Festival. Market participants note that, given the clear trend of sluggish trading activity ahead of the Spring Festival, the timing of this bidding is not ideal. However, the relatively favorable starting prices have generated considerable market anticipation for the outcome of the bidding.
