Despite market challenges, overall shipment performance remained stable, without a significant year-on-year decline. This is mainly due to a clear structural divergence in end-user procurement strategies: affected by the sharp rise in upstream memory chip costs, domestic Android brands generally tightened their procurement plans due to cost pressures, while Apple and Samsung maintained stable procurement thanks to their supply chain advantages and high profitability resilience. In addition, some domestic panel manufacturers proactively brought forward some future demand to maintain production line utilization and avoid the risk of subsequent price increases, further supporting the first quarters shipment performance. If end-user demand fails to improve in the future, the market may continue to face pressure.

Panasonic Anticipates A Rise in Global Automobile Production This Fiscal Year

Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Holdings Corp, which manufactures batteries for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers, stated on Wednesday that it anticipates a recovery in global vehicle production this fiscal year, but that the two-year semiconductor shortage will persist.


Masashi Nagayasu, CEO of the Japanese conglomerate's automotive business, which manufactures in-car infotainment systems and other auto components, stated, "We will operate our business in consideration of the risks of fluctuations in vehicle manufacturing."


Nagayasu stated on the first day of Panasonic's annual investor event that the company has no plans to produce automobiles.


Panasonic, whose automotive division accounts for approximately 14 percent of its entire revenue, anticipates a 19 percent increase in sales for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. It anticipates an operational profit increase of roughly 17 percent.


Due to component shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in China and higher commodity prices as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company stated last month that it did not anticipate a profit increase for this fiscal year.
