The shortage of semiconductor chips over the past year has been one of the tech industry’s biggest problems. Auto manufacturers have been hit hard by this with supply chain and production being heavily stalled. With demand of electronic devices at an all time high, chip manufacturers have struggled to catch up with demand.
Why the chip shortage has led to less Acura inventory at your Indianapolis dealership
Semiconductors are central to chips and circuit boards. In cars, they help run everything from digital displays to control systems. A global shortage of semiconductor chips has forced auto manufacturers to scale back production and prioritize key features of vehicles over extras.
Car industry experts believe the chip supply shortage may impact the auto industry for two years; while consumers are seeing this now with dealerships having limited inventory, this may be the trend through 2021 or even through parts of 2022.
Is the automotive industry being prioritized?
Lockdowns have caused factories to close and led to decreased chip production. Semiconductor chips are heavily utilized by the makers of personal electronics, another industry that has witnessed a huge jump in demand. Chip producers have been left trying to increase their production while car makers, computing, and phone manufacturers have fought to get their hands on more semiconductor chips.
