Besides automotive analog ICs which may surge, other applications are almost at the end of their inventory correction cycle.
October 27, 2023
Key Takeaways:
- Inventory levels of analog integrated circuits (ICs) are normalizing, particularly in medical and consumer electronics, with a stable range of 2.0~2.5 months.
- Despite stabilization, most clients still rely on rush orders, resulting in limited order visibility of 1 to 2 months.
- Automotive OEMs' active inventory control raises concerns about excess inventory burden, potentially leading to a rise in inventory for automotive analog ICs. This shift is influenced by OEMs cutting back orders with analog IC distributors and implementing aggressive inventory controls.
