From 2020 to 2024, VolksTech has achieved rapid growth in the automotive electronics industry. At the same time, starting in 2020, a global chip shortage caused by multiple factors emerged, severely impacting the sector:
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted global supply chains, leading to factory closures and shipping delays, which limited the capacity of chip manufacturers. Meanwhile, with the rise of remote work, online education, and home entertainment, demand for electronics such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles surged, further straining chip supplies. Although the automotive industry initially reduced its chip demand due to the pandemic, a recovery in global markets soon created a rebound in demand, exacerbating the shortage.
The rapid expansion of 5G networks and IoT devices also fueled the growing need for chips. As more devices connected to the internet, the demand for processors and semiconductors soared. Additionally, global trade tensions and export control policies, such as U.S. restrictions on Chinese semiconductor firms and tight regulations on chip exports, added further risks to the supply chain.
Modern automobiles rely heavily on chips for functions like autonomous driving, safety systems, and infotainment. Consequently, the chip shortage hit the automotive industry particularly hard. As the industry transitions toward electrification and smart vehicles, the demand for chips has skyrocketed, forcing many manufacturers to cut production or even halt certain models. This ripple effect has persisted well into 2023 and continues into 2024.
