The Lack Of Chips To Meet The Demand Of The Electronics Industry Is Affecting Production In Brazil

The global chip shortage has been forcing electronics manufacturers in Brazil to implement partial shutdowns in their production for some time. Last month, 15% of manufacturers of devices such as cell phones, laptops, and televisions had to interrupt part of their production due to a lack of electronic components.

According to a survey conducted by Abinee (the association representing the sector) and revealed last month, this number corresponds to the highest percentage of forced shutdowns since the association began monthly inquiries to its members about the impacts of the chip supply crisis and other components.

Additionally, considering that another 36% of companies reported production or delivery delays due to the shortage of chips and electronic components, it can be said that half of the industries were affected in December by the supply of the input that did not meet demand.

Consequences Of The Lack Of Chips

According to Abinee’s survey, 26% of electronics manufacturers currently have components and raw materials in stock that are below normal levels. Furthermore, 76% of companies have reported higher-than-usual pressure on material costs, which affects the segment more broadly.

Abinee’s survey also highlights the difficulties faced by 35% of companies in obtaining clearance for imported goods due to standard operation by revenue auditors. Inspectors are delaying the customs clearance process at ports, as the performance bonus that was paid to these workers has resumed, resulting in exacerbated production delays in a sector highly dependent on imported components.

The association also stated that the disorganization caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in production chains will continue to require attention in 2022, considering that the shortage of semiconductor chips and other components has no expected resolution. Additionally, there are logistical challenges such as high freight costs and difficulties in reserving both containers and space on cargo ships.

Despite the challenges, most manufacturers still express optimism regarding sales growth this year. According to a survey conducted by Abinee in November, 69% of companies expected to do more business in 2022 than in 2021; currently, 67% of them maintain this forecast.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.
