Technologie: Hersteller rationieren Chips – mehr als 52 Wochen Lieferzeit
Der KI-Boom fegt den Halbleitermarkt leer – die Preise steigen, Hersteller weisen Neukunden ab. Einen Bereich der deutschen Wirtschaft trifft das besonders hart.
Munich. Semiconductor manufacturers are increasingly delaying orders, with some producers now citing delivery times of 52 weeks or more, according to Dominik Zillner, CEO of electronics service provider Components at Service. This means the timing of the chipmakers' supply of goods is entirely uncertain. Customers are currently receiving only a portion of their order, Zillner adds.
Moreover, the components have become significantly more expensive: "Some suppliers have already raised prices four times this year." Major distributors, analysts, consultants, and chip buyers agree that this marks the beginning of a new era of semiconductor shortages, and buyers must place orders well in advance to prevent their inventory from running out.
Without a steady supply of chips, Germany's automotive industry, machine manufacturing, and even the chemical and energy sectors could grind to a halt.
