It is reported that Samsung Electronics will set up an internal semiconductor research institute to analyze the semiconductor market and other related industries.

November 25 news, according to foreign media reports, Samsung Electronics will set up a new global research institute under the DS business unit in December this year.

It is reported that the global research institute is expected to analyze the semiconductor market and other related industries, and explore new markets, will be led by a vice president.

Samsung feels the need to establish an independent internal semiconductor research institute as a result of global supply chain disruptions and a growing shortage of semiconductors, as well as growing mistrust of external market research institutions.

Currently, the Samsung Group has a number of research institutions, including the Samsung Research Center, the Samsung Securities Research Center and the Samsung Global Research Center, which are operated by Samsung Electronics. However, these research institutions focus on different areas, but none of them conduct in-depth analysis of the semiconductor industry.

Samsung Electronics believes that as the global purchasing power weakens after a sharp rise in US interest rates, the memory industry faces a sharp drop in demand and excess inventory, and global chipmakers are reducing production and capital expenditure accordingly.
