Auto industry warns of second chip crunch as AI boom shifts capacity
The auto industry faces warnings of a new semiconductor supply squeeze as demand from AI data centres and the robot sector grows. The concern is not driven by companies stockpiling high-end GPUs, but by production capacity, engineering talent and investment shifting to data centre chips. Nexperia and STMicroelectronics executives said bottlenecks are appearing across auto supply chains. German parts maker Aumovio warned chip costs are rising and could surge next year.

China LED chip maker Sanan Optoelectronics drops bid for Dutch firm after U.S. security review
Chinese LED chip maker Sanan Optoelectronics has abandoned its planned acquisition of Dutch technology company Lumileds Holding after opposition from U.S. authorities. Its Malaysian partner, Inari Amertron Berhad, withdrew a $239 million cash offer after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States cited “unresolvable” national security risks. Sanan said CFIUS asked for the filing to be withdrawn and the deal to be abandoned, and both sides halted the process.

Korea\'s memory big 2 focus on May U.S.-China summit as export boom faces turning point
With a U.S.-China summit scheduled for May, South Korea\'s semiconductor industry is again exposed to trade variables. A Peterson Institute report says the two countries may seek a “win-win exit” to reduce mutual dependence in semiconductors and critical minerals. Korea’s chip exports have set record highs for three straight months, but the summit outcome could steer the direction of the boom. Risks span both equipment and materials procurement and sales channels to China.
