A few days ago, the global chip shortage is still spreading. The price of LCD panel materials is rising, the production capacity is lacking, and the cost of LCD TVs has increased, and the price has also risen, and the shortage of goods is also very serious.
According to the editor of the flexible circuit board, as of June 2021, the purchase price of small and medium-sized panels of 55 inches and below has increased by more than 90% year-on-year, of which 55-inch, 43-inch and 32-inch panels have increased by 97.3%, 98.6% and 151.4 year-on-year. %.
According to relevant data reported by CCTV, the price of TV sets has risen by 34.9% year-on-year. Moreover, due to the shortage of chips and the price increase of LCD panels, not only the price of TV sets has risen, but also the shortage of goods is serious.
The prices of televisions and monitors of many brands have increased by hundreds of yuan compared with the beginning of the year. The 65-inch TVs that are most commonly used now have a price increase of nearly 1,000 yuan compared with March and April last year. This situation was not common in previous years.
The person in charge of a TV manufacturer in Kunshan, Jiangsu said that LCD panels accounted for more than 70% of the cost of TV sets. Since April last year, LCD panel prices have started to rise, and companies can only ease operating pressure by raising product prices.
The editor of the flexible circuit board learned that due to the shortage of chips and the price increase of LCD panels, not only the price of TV sets has risen, but also the shortage of goods is serious.
In addition, on the e-commerce shopping platform, the prices of televisions and monitors of many brands have increased by hundreds of yuan compared with the beginning of the year.
According to reports, affected by the epidemic, demand for TVs, notebooks, and tablet devices in overseas markets is very strong, which makes LCD panels in short supply and prices rise.
It is worth mentioning that the shortage of raw materials for many LCD panels has also exacerbated the contradiction between supply and demand.
Paul Gagnon, senior research director for consumer devices at analyst firm Omdia, said: “Anything with a built-in screen will be affected by these price increases. He said this includes PC manufacturers who can avoid the increase by selling devices at the same price. Price, but it will be simpler in other aspects, such as less memory."
According to the editor of the flexible circuit board, the shortage of semiconductors will last for more than a year, which may lead to a re-division of the global chip manufacturing landscape.
