Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, the factory utilization rate has declined, and resellers have noticed, so the shortage of semiconductor supply continues even at the time of writing the article. AMD CEO Lisa Su said, 'The situation will continue to be difficult in the first half of 2022, but it will not be serious in the second half.'

Nikkei Asia, the international edition of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, interviewed Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and found that the company expects a semiconductor shortage to continue until 2023.

According to the report, Gelsinger CEO said, 'The overall semiconductor shortage is very serious, but the industry has grown about 5% each year before the new coronavirus.' 'The new coronavirus disrupts the supply chain. It has a negative impact. Demand has increased by 20% year-on-year, again due to supply chain disruptions, and this explosive demand continues to this day. ' Emphasizes that the impact of the shortage of semiconductors is serious.



Gelsinger said it would take 'time' to close the gap between supply and demand, and that it would take at least three years to meet it. In addition, Gelsinger CEO predicted that the semiconductor shortage would 'continue until 2022' in July 2021, but in October 2021, he reaffirmed that 'the balance between supply and demand will not be balanced until 2023'.

Intel says it is expanding existing semiconductor factories in Arizona and New Mexico to address the semiconductor shortage. In addition, it is aiming to expand many factory facilities in other regions, and has announced that it will invest $ 7.1 billion (about 810 billion yen) to expand its manufacturing capacity in Malaysia. 'We will soon be announcing semiconductor factories in the United States and Europe,' Gelsinger said.

It was reported in September 2021 that Intel plans to build a semiconductor factory in Europe.
