ST rare half-year price increase

Since the end of last year, there have been many domestic and foreign semiconductor companies to announce price increases due to epidemic, raw materials price increase, capacity tightness, and production cycle prices. From the current situation, the semiconductor price increase situation caused by the chip supply shortage will be more harder, and the semiconductor demand is not high, and the extension of the desired imbalance will continue.
 
The global semiconductor supply shortage will continue throughout 2021 and returned to normal levels in the second quarter of 2022. Semiconductor supply shortages severely disturbing the supply chain and restricts the production of multiple electronic equipment, the chip foundry is increasing the price of the chip, and the chip company has also improved the price of the product. Among them, MCU is still the most shortage of materials in the second quarter of 2021. At present, 8 and 32 MCUs have exceeded 16 weeks of overseas overseas overseas, generally in 24 weeks, and individual tight types are delivered for 50 weeks.
 
The industry's friends know that ST's MCU series products are in a tight goods in the supply chain, and the price is also higher than that of similar products, and the current delivery is generally 20-26 weeks. On January 1 this year, ST has announced the first wave of price increases, ST said that since January 1, 2021, improves all product line prices. Follow-up will allocate the company's production capacity according to customer order arrangements and best demand visibility to maximize manufacturing efficiency.
