According to the supply chain sources, STMicroelectronics (STM) issued this year’s second price increase notice, since June 1 this year, so all product line price increase, after January 1 this year, STM (STM) again issued the latest price increase notice, all product lines from June 1 began to increase prices. It did not specify the extent of the increase.
In the notice, STMicro noted that the current semiconductor shortage crisis is seriously affecting the entire industry as well as the economy and society. The increase in raw material supply costs is the main reason for the increase. In view of this, STMicro will increase prices across all product lines effective June 1, 2021.
This follows an increase notice issued by STMicro in December 2020 due to continued capacity shortages in the foundry market.
Stmicroelectronics said at the time, the cause of the rise in price is affected by global new crown flu pandemic, stmicroelectronics required a lot of raw material supply tension, and suppliers to maintain for the supply of stmicroelectronics, led to higher costs and radical commercial terms, decision since January 1, 2020, raise the price of all product lines.
In March this year, the spot market of STMicroelectronics MCU appeared out of stock phenomenon, and then because the price was fired several times higher, the domestic 32 MCU manufacturers also followed up the increase. At present, Renesas Electronics, NXP, STMicroelectronics, Infineon and Texas Instruments share the main MCU market. The domestic MCU echelon includes Zhaoyi Innovation, Shanghai Lingding Microelectronics and so on.
