Taiwanese panel supplier Innolux Corp. says the current chip shortages could last beyond this year, becoming the latest manufacturer to warn that competition for semiconductors may persist for some time.
“Supply at foundries is very tight. Capacity in the chip packaging and testing space is also tight,” James Yang, president of the Foxconn affiliate, told analysts at an earnings conference on Wednesday. “The chip supply bottleneck could still remain unresolved in the first half of 2022.”
