Chip is the core component for achieving automotive intelligence and safety upgrades. In-depth analysis on the automotive chip market，status quo of China’s industrial chain and industry hot-spot issues will help to study and judge future market and technology development trends. At present，under the dual drive by policy and market，China’s chip industry is attractive for funds and its technological level has been significantly improved. However，the foundation of China’s automotive chip industry chain is weak and external environment is becoming more severe，it is a long way for the development of the industry. A deep understanding of the reasons resulting in the shortage of automotive chips under the effects of the COVID-19 Epidemic will help upstream and downstream companies to grasp the supply rhythm and trend of the industry chain.
