Thank CTOnews.com netizens Rimi Ishihara happy, goodfull, soft media users 1815736 clue delivery! March 6 news, according to foreign media reports, chips were obviously affected by the decline in demand for consumer electronic products in the second half of last year, especially in the field of memory chips, which also caused South Korea, which has Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, two major memory chip manufacturers, to face no small challenges, and their semiconductor exports also declined significantly, affecting their overall exports.

The latest data from South Korea show that a sharp drop in demand has also led to a rise in inventories of South Korean chipmakers. In January, the inventory sales rate of South Korean chip makers climbed to 265.7%.

According to foreign media reports, the inventory sales rate of 265.7% in January also hit a 26-year high. The inventory sales rate of South Korean chipmakers was last above this level in March 1997, when it was 288.7 per cent.

Foreign media reported that the high inventory sales rate also means that South Korean chipmakers have greater challenges in selling their products, and the inventory sales rate may be higher when manufacturers prepare for mass shipments.

However, foreign media also mentioned in the report that the increase in inventory sales rate can also prompt chipmakers to cut production or lower prices in order to maintain sales and reduce this ratio.

Although South Korea has only released the inventory sales rate for January, judging from the semiconductor exports in February, their inventory in February will not be optimistic. South Korean data released last week showed that semiconductor exports fell to $5.96 billion in February, down from $10.37 billion in the same period last year and down 42.5 per cent from a year earlier.
