Seven Kinds of Electronic Component’s Price Will Increase

Published:2011/4/2 3:35:00 Author:Li xiao na From:SeekIC

The supply of seven electronic components, including NAND flash memory, DRAM, micro-controller, standard logic, LCD panel, the component and material of LCD, will be short influenced by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. So the price of these components increases rapidly. Japan is the largest supplier of silicon, which takes sixty percent of the total quantity. If the problems of transportation and infrastructure leads the supply of silicon stop, not only the above seven components will be influence, but also the discrete components will be influenced, such as the MOSFET, bipolar transistor and small signal transistor. Damage of the infrastructure may make the shipment in Japan slow, but the shortage problem will happen after March because of the stocks.

Although the storage has not happed, the price components had been influenced by the psychological impact. The price of high-density NAND flash has been increased by ten percent. According to the predication of HIS, the customers of OEMDRAM will not face the price fluctuation. In the contract market, the average price will not change until the infrastructures become normal.

Some large-scale manufacturers of the electronic components are located in the south of epicenter, so its damage is small. However, these places are facing the problems of transportation, raw material reception and manpower. The electricity interruption also has large influence which is decided by the type of productions. A screen factory of Hitachi is located near the epicenter, so it will cease for one week to estimate the losses. Although the workshop has not been broken, its business must be influence by the power interruption. Panasonic’s six generation of the LCD factory produces the LCD panel which is used by the Panasonic and the Chinese brands. Some information indicates that the components used by the large LCD will not be influenced, but the problem of power supply will influence its production and supply in the future. The related integrated circuit is MG8Q6ES42.
