Threat
1. Global semiconductor shortage is disrupting the production facilities of automotive makers: Magna International is a producer of automotive parts, and technology and is also involved in complete vehicle engineering. The company provides the design and the framework to the automobile owners and also designs the framework for them. Semiconductors play a significant role in the automotive industry as they are the building blocks of several components. However, the world is facing a major shortage of semiconductors. This situation has been prevalent since the onset of Covid-19 in China. But it has been worsened due to the Ukraine-Russia war. Both Ukraine and Russia were the major producers of semiconductors. So, the ongoing war has stopped the supply of semiconductors from these countries. It is uncertain when the semiconductor shortage issue will come to an end. Till then there will be a huge demand for semiconductors and the prices will rise. This will affect the production of Magna International and will cause disruptions.
