Research institute Southbay Research founder Satlin (Andrew Zatlin) believes that the semiconductor capacity challenges, by 2022 will also be a problem.
Semiconductor manufacturing plants must use precision equipment that requires a lot of testing and fine-tuning for production, so the process of producing chips will take some Time. In addition, the restrictions imposed on the sales of land-based companies have also limited the supply.
Satlin said the above-mentioned problems have not had much impact so far, because the large companies have contracts that can provide price guarantees, however, the substantive world is affected. Suppliers have no incentive to sell at flat prices, so capacity is constrained. This has forced buyers to take advantage of the spot market for DRAM memory and as a result pushed up prices, forcing companies to sit down and negotiate with suppliers and offer higher prices.
Chip prices are currently up about 20%, and the question is when production costs will be passed on. Since many products are equipped with chips, it will be another factor that pushes up Inflation in addition to the rise in energy and housing prices.
