Since the second half of 2020, the world has been suffering from a lack of core, and because of that, we've seen the price of everything that's related to chips go up.

As a global manufacturing center, we have always been a big chip consumer, consuming nearly 70% of the world's chips. In addition, our own chip manufacturing is not very good, so the number of chips imported this year is still astronomical.



According to customs data, by the end of September, China imported 478.42 billion pieces of integrated circuits, up 23.7 percent year on year; Imports totaled 312.61 billion U.S. dollars, up 23.7 percent year on year.

Compared with the 543.5 billion, 350.03 billion US dollars worth of imported chips for the whole of last year, about 89% of the total volume has been completed in just nine months of this year. In this way, the situation is still very serious, and we are still quite dependent on foreign chips.

From the point of view of the average price, the average price of imported chips this year is $0.6534 a chip, while the average price of imported chips last year is $0.6440 a chip. It can be seen that in the case of lack of core, the price is also increased, up about 1.5%.
