Supply chain sources say that some Chinese automakers are considering expanding the use of non-auto-grade commercial chips to replace automotive-grade chips. The application of semiconductor products in automobiles is currently expanding rapidly. During the epidemic in 2021, there was a serious shortage of automobile chips. Since 2023, the imbalance between supply and demand has gradually been alleviated. However, sources warned that the automotive industry may still face challenges caused by chaos in the chip market in 2024.

It is reported that in the fourth quarter of 2023, some automobile manufacturers are considering using more consumer-grade or commercial-grade chips to replace automotive-grade chips, mainly due to cost considerations. Some unimportant systems, such as DDI driver chips used in car entertainment systems and displays, can be replaced with non-car-grade chips because they will not affect driving safety.

But sources said Chinese automakers are considering further replacement of chips that may affect driving, such as those used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

The supply chain said that wafer foundries including TSMC, UMC, Power Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and World Advanced Micro Devices have been unable to accurately classify their chip production by end market because some customers have not disclosed whether their chips will be used in the automotive industry. . For the foreseeable future, it is expected that China's automobile manufacturing industry will continue to use a mixture of automotive-grade, general commercial-grade and industrial-grade chips, which is already a fairly common practice. However, it remains to be seen whether Chinese manufacturers will also adopt this strategy for overseas models.

According to data from the German Automobile Management Center, nearly 10 million pure electric vehicles will be sold globally in 2023, of which about 6 million will come from China. It is reported that electric vehicles and self-driving vehicles require up to 1,300 chips each, while fuel vehicles only require about 500 chips.
