With the rapid development of the electrification and intelligence of automobiles in recent years, and the increasing demand for automobile control chips in traditional automobiles, the application of automotive chips is indispensable, and their demand is rising. In addition, the cost of application in the car has also risen. From hundreds to thousands. Compared with fund-raising and market competition, the shortage of chips has caused headaches for a considerable number of car companies. Although the degree of “chip shortage”varies, the seemingly insignificant automotive chip has become the “brain” that controls the car and has become a key component which car companies dare not underestimate.
Recently, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (hereinafter referred to as“CAAM”) released monthly data, compared to 2019, the cumulative production and sales of domestic passenger cars in Jan. to Mar. 2021 year-on-year decline further expanded, the reason is the shortage of chips. The CAAM points out that the tight supply of chips and other components will continue to affect the production rhythm of auto companies, and the impact is expected to be greater in the second quarter of this year than in the first quarter. looking around the world, the automotive“chip”shortage dilemma has spread from the end of 2020 to the present, with many car companies affected by the shutdown. According to AlixPartners, an international consulting company, global vehicle production will drop by about 3.9 million units in 2021. In this issue, we will explore from various perspectives, including technology, market environment, and problems encountered in the industry chain, in the hope of uncovering the deep-seated reasons for the phenomenon of “lack of core” in the automotive industry and offering some solutions.

Conclusion
When the Novel coronavirus pneumonia first broke out, automakers were caught off guard by the shutdown, the losses and uncertainty of the end market made them more cautious about sourcing parts, with the gradual disappearance of the epidemic, consumer demand is still strong, one years ago, automaker probably would not have imagined that it was the tiny chip that was once again“stuck”the factory. This wave of“core shortage”has also made domestic automakers and chip companies realize that this lifeblood that controls the“brain”of automobiles needs to be more in their own hands. With the policy support and the enterprises’increasing efforts in research and development,“China Chip”may one day, "China Chip" may one day become a powerful "blood supply pump" for manufacturers. We also look forward to this day!
