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.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

While the world was paying more for fuel, the 100 largest oil companies on the planet raked in an extra $23 billion in just 30 days of blockage in the Strait of Hormuz.

National Geographic strikes the hammer: yes, Africa is slowly splitting apart, a new ocean may form, and science considers this one of the most important geological phenomena of our time.

US$ 3.5 billion, a port capable of receiving the largest ships in the world, and a direct route to Shanghai place Chancay at the center of a logistics revolution that could cut up to two weeks off trade between South America and Asia, repositioning Peru as a new strategic hub of the Pacific.

Without a course in aerospace engineering and without a dedicated laboratory, USP students launch a rocket with a hybrid engine and bring Project Jupiter to the forefront of aerospace technology.
