Minsheng Securities: Electronics is still the bull sector! Intelligent electric vehicles, VR / AR, cloud computing, IOT wearable, etc. usher in new opportunities
For a long time, electronics has been an important institutional configuration sector. In the early stage, the electronics sector was dominated by consumer electronics, and apple chain company bloomed. Then, under the background of Huawei incident and shortage tide, semiconductor companies started domestic substitution and relay consumer electronics to become the main investment line. Although the electronic fluctuation is large, it is still a long bull sector.
Looking forward to the future industrial trend and investment main line, we believe that: 1) there is still considerable room for domestic substitution of semiconductors. At present, China’s semiconductors have made zero breakthroughs in different products and fields, and the trend of domestic comprehensive breakthrough has taken shape. 2) Focus on the investment main line driven by new products and new markets. At present, smart machines have entered the stock market, and traditional consumer electronics companies have started transformation one after another; In contrast, the new opportunities driven by new markets such as intelligent electric vehicles, VR / AR, server cloud computing and IOT wearable are more worth grasping.
According to the statistics of Gartner, the global semiconductor market space reached $474.1 billion in 2021. Mobile phones and PCs are still important downstream markets, but the growth rate slows down. In terms of growth, the growth rate of automobile is the fastest, up to 25.3%; Followed by IOT, with a growth rate of 18.7%. In addition, AR / VR is also maturing step by step; Looking forward to 2022, the server demand will also accelerate after the introduction of ddr5. Many new products and new markets will drive the long-term growth of the electronic sector. []
Wanlian Securities: the global supply of semiconductor raw gas in Ukraine is tightening or pushing up the cost of the industrial chain
Ukraine’s global semiconductor raw material gas supply is tightening or pushing up the cost of the industrial chain. Ukraine is a major supplier of semiconductor raw gas in the world, including neon, argon, krypton, xenon and other gases. Nearly 70% of the global output of neon is supplied by Ukraine, and neon is a necessary raw material. If the supply is blocked, it will affect the global semiconductor industry. Jibang consulting believes that the increasingly complex situation in Russia and Ukraine may impact the inert gas supply in the region. Although it will not cause the interruption of production line in the short term, the reduction of gas supply may still cause the price rise and the semiconductor production cost may rise. Inert gas is mainly used in the semiconductor lithography process, in which the link requiring neon is DUV exposure, and neon is the necessary gas in its required mixed gas, which is difficult to replace. However, Ukraine supplies most of the neon gas in the world. Therefore, its regional economic situation is unstable or will affect the stability of the industrial chain and promote the rise of wafer manufacturing costs in stages. []

AVIC Securities: in 2022, automotive power semiconductors will continue to be in short supply of Chinese power semiconductor manufacturers or obtain the driving force for growth
In 2021, automotive semiconductors experienced the largest increase in nearly a decade. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, although the shipment of automotive semiconductors has increased significantly, some American automobile enterprises are still forced to stop production due to lack of core. We believe that the mismatch between supply and demand of automotive semiconductors is mainly due to the rapid growth of global demand for new energy vehicles in 2021 and the complex supply chain of semiconductors, which has reduced the conduction speed of supply and demand. We judge that some automotive power semiconductors will continue to be in short supply in 2022, and Chinese power semiconductor manufacturers may be able to obtain the driving force for sustained growth.
We have counted the production capacity of the world’s major power semiconductor manufacturers and found that there is less new production capacity abroad in 2022. China’s power semiconductor manufacturers with independent production capacity and entering the automobile supply chain may benefit from this round of core shortage cycle and continue the growth trend in 2021. It is suggested to pay attention to: the leader of high boom industry, and the targets of performance growth are relatively certain: Will Semiconductor Co.Ltd.Shanghai(603501) , Nantong Jianghai Capacitor Co.Ltd(002484) , Xiamen Faratronic Co.Ltd(600563) , Wingtech Technology Co.Ltd(600745) , Hangzhou Silan Microelectronics Co.Ltd(600460) , Yangzhou Yangjie Electronic Technology Co.Ltd(300373) , Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic Co.Ltd(603228) , Wus Printed Circuit (Kunshan) Co.Ltd(002463) .
