Japanese Earthquake Influences The IT Industry All Over The World

The earthquake, tsunami and the following power shortage will influence the electronics assemblies supply in a short term, even the price of some devices will be higher. Because of the short power and terrible traffic, the production of the Flash memory, microcontroller, LCD panel and other circuit component will reduce. Meanwhile, Japan is world's largest supplier of silicon, which provides sixty percent of world's consumption. It is no doubt that the reduction of production will influence the entire IT industry from memory to the general components.

Although the broken infrastructure will slow the supply of these devices, the world's supply chain has the stocks with two weeks. Therefore, the short supply and price increase will emerge in the beginning of April, lasting from the first quarter to third quarter of this year. The stocks of semiconductor were always very high before the disaster, which will also slow the shortage phenomenon. Influence by the disaster, the price of high-end Flash memory has increased by ten percent, but the contract price of memory still keeps stable in the OEM market. In the spot market, the price of memory has begun to fluctuate, which has increase seven percent in Friday of last week. The contract price may change with the renewing of contract in the future.

Toshiba is the world's second last Flash memory manufacturer. Its shipment will reduce by twenty percent, but this quantity will be filled up by Samsung. Therefore, its supply for the tablet computer will be normal. The production line of small and middle screen in Hitachi is influenced by the earthquake heavily, and it has ceased now. Even if the production line is not damaged, the shortage of power will still make the production low. If this state continues, the supply of video game screen and cell phone screen will be difficult. The sixth generation of LCD production line has not been damaged by the disaster in Panasonic, but the shortage of power makes the production low. And the price of its television will be influenced. Apart from these components, P33 and the Japanese automobiles are all influenced by the earthquake obviously. The related integrated circuit is LA9200NM.
