Electronics And Earthquake

The price of Electronic components rose. One of the largest hand to push it was flash memory, and Toshiba flash memory is the representative of it.
Responsible for the release of above index was shenzhen price index Co., LTD in CKK. Wubo, The data operations director of this company , said flash memory appeared apparent rise trend. Other brands such as the price of South Korea's Samsung, Modern increased about 6% to 26% . Besides, overall Japanese product showed the shortage.
Wu also believed that Japanese earthquake short-term will cause shortages and price rising in the memory DRAM, NAND products and some high-end chips, digital optical devices. At the same time, key components of the smartphone HDI board will be influenced the most.

Followed by are panel industry, solar, wafer foundry and NB battery core. The material rise will also push up the cost of downstream mobile phone manufacturer, which promotes cell phone price rises, such as Apple and Nokia smartphone , and pushes terminal market price of iPhone4, iPad2 higher, and mobile phones, cameras, computer or following electronic components will show the price rising trend in the future.
Japan plays a prominent role in global electronic components and appliance market all the time, and is a technological leader in multiple electronic industry, such as passive components, precision optical instruments components, plate manufacturing equipment, electronics and semiconductors chemicals, digital products are on the top of the world, white goods, semiconductor ranks second in the world. SONY, Toshiba, Panasonic, Sanyo, Hitachi, Canon, Epson, etc are big companys in Japan relevant to electronic appliances.

The earthquake worst-hit areas such as Iwate and Sendai gathered many electronic components factory. Some factories were closed or had the problem of logistics paralysis, such as Toshiba factory suffered blackouts and logistics interruption. Toshiba is the second global NAND flash giants after samsung electronics which occupys 1/3 global market share. It is expected that Japanese electronics products supply influence will last three to four months even half a year.
