Semiconductor Crisis Summary

Semiconductor crisis in short

Semiconductor Crisis – In Short:

The semiconductor crisis refers to the global chip shortage that began in 2020, disrupting industries
like automobiles, electronics, appliances, and telecom.

🔍 Key Reasons:
1. COVID-19 Pandemic – Factory shutdowns and supply chain disruptions.

2. Surge in Demand – Increased need for electronics (laptops, phones, consoles) during lockdowns.

3. Automotive Miscalculations – Automakers canceled chip orders in 2020, but demand rebounded
faster than expected.

4. Geopolitical Tensions – U.S.-China tech war, export controls, and sanctions affected supply chains.

5. Natural Disasters – Fires in Japan (Renesas), droughts in Taiwan (TSMC), and Texas freeze
impacted production.

🚨 Impact:
Delayed car production, higher prices.

Gadget shortages.
Losses running into billions of dollars globally.

Sparked national security concerns and led countries to promote domestic chip manufacturing
(e.g., India’s Semicon India program, US CHIPS Act).
