Eponch AI research finds China 2.7 times as exposed to chip shortages as the US
Overview
Eponch AI research finds China is 2.7 times as exposed to chip shortages as the US, because semiconductors make up a larger share of its consumption.
The research says $15.2 of every $1,000 Chinese consumers and businesses spend ultimately pays for chips, compared with $5.7 for US spending.
The gap is wider for chips from specific suppliers: China's exposure is 4.7 times the US level for Taiwan, 4.0 times for South Korea and 3.6 times for Japan. The research also says domestic producers covered 23% of China's chip demand in 2022, up from 12% in 2016.
