Samsung warns: "if the shortage continues, we may be unable to make televisions"

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/03/2021 09:12 AM | source: express | 42 comment(s)
Samsung warns:

The despicable availability if chips worldwide seem the have an effect on all market segments. Samsung now also confirming that if the global shortage of chips does not stop, it will end up affecting even the production chain of its Smart TVs.

The company, which recently presented its televisions with Micro LED panels, left open the possibility that in the future they will increase the prices of their products if the current situation of shortages continues as before since they will have to compensate the increases in the costs of the products. 

“The industry in general is facing a severe supply shortage. If this continues, we may not be able to produce televisions, ” said Han Jong-hee, head of the display business at Samsung Electronics.

“We are doing everything possible to avoid problems. Samsung Electronics has held meetings with Taiwanese chipmakers to conclude reciprocally this year and next . " Finally, he added that "the company is safe for this year . "

Despite concerns about semiconductor shortages, Han Jong-hee confirmed that Samsung's mass production line for its 146-inch Micro LED is now fully operational. This wall-sized TV will join the 110-, 70- and 80-inch models later this year, Samsung confirmed

That may or may not be true for them, but, I do get the feeling they are just trying to get a marketing message out there by capitalising on existing news stories.

Are the different divisions within the Samsung conglomerate actually competing with totally outside, unrelated companies equally for Samsung's own services? Samsung itself is one of the cutting-edge chip manufacturers, so logic would dictate Samsung would make enough chips for Samsung and only then serve other customers, but I guess not. This article actually makes it sound like Samsung's TV factory buys its chips from Taiwan, not from Samsung's own foundries. I guess business is business, even within the family.

A foreboding truth? Or a convenient way to take advantage of market volatility and consumer panic to raise the price of TVs which have been all but disposable (price wise) for years now?

This.

It is absurd that Samsung cannot, and would not manufacture for their own products first. My only thought is whether they don't want to give the impression they are disproportionately favouring themselves with the current high demand.

Never ever believe this kind of shit. NEVER! Incoming price increases, including smartphones, soon or later.
