Affected by the recent epidemic, the demand in the electronic consumer market has shrunk dramatically, and the trend of the need in the second quarter continues to decline; the manufacturing industry is also facing the risk of shutdown and shutdown.

The Korean mobile phone product supplier led by Samsung, their camera CMOS, screen, memory and other businesses have occupied an important position in the global supply chain. As the epidemic spreads globally, South Korean mobile phone manufacturers face unprecedented challenges. The Gumi factory established by Samsung in South Korea is an important production base of Samsung Electronics in South Korea. There have been many cases of employee infections.  As of the end of March, the floor has been blocked three times and production has been suspended.

In order to ensure the normal supply of its products, last month it has transferred its main production capacity to the Samsung Vietnam production base and the Indian factory. Samsung Electronics’ Gumi Plant is mainly responsible for the production of S20 series flagship products and flexible folding screens, with an annual output of 2,000w, and is also an important 5G R & D base for Samsung Electronics.

At present, Samsung has closed 1/4 of the global production lines, and the Indian factory is also on the list of discontinued production.

In addition to Samsung, the No. 1 supplier of iPhone screens, LG Innotek’s Gumi production base, a subsidiary of LG Electronics, also discovered the first infected person on April 1, and the company has conducted a comprehensive inspection. The company has been producing camera modules for the iPhone for a long time and is a major supplier of rear cameras for the iPhone11 series. It is planning to produce 3D-capable ToF modules for the next generation of iPhones, which has also caused industry concerns about iPhone supply.
