Entering 2022, the shortage of automotive chips continues to be a concern in the market, especially for the core component MCU, which is the focus of attention. Recently, some experts believe that new energy vehicles will continue to grow beyond expectations in 2022, and automotive grade MCUs will still be in short supply this year; This year, the original factory will still conduct 2-3 rounds of price adjustments for MCUs, with each round expected to increase by 10% to 20%, and the overall increase is expected to be 1.5 times that of the previous year. In some areas where domestic alternatives are available, prices are expected to decline due to local companies adopting a low price competition strategy. Unlike 2021, currently, large enterprises have established a considerable amount of safety stock and are not greatly affected by market shortages, while small and medium-sized enterprises will become the main body of chip shortages
