TechInsights' IC Supply/Demand indices held in Tight. Chip demand is cooling as inflation, COVID lockdowns in China, and Russia's war work to accelerate the shortage's steady easing. China's GDP growth was down by 74% in 1Q22 Y/Y. Reduced electric auto production in China is helping ease shortages of Auto ICs, though they remain in shortage as demand is high despite inflation.
