Group 1 - The core idea of the article is the establishment of a shared semiconductor information system by the Japan Automobile Parts Industry Association, which aims to stabilize semiconductor procurement for Japanese automakers like Toyota and Renesas Electronics, covering approximately 80-90% of the semiconductor needs [2][5] - The system will allow semiconductor manufacturers to register specifications, production times, and origins, enabling automakers and parts manufacturers to query and understand the supply stability of required semiconductors [6][8] - The automotive industry is facing challenges due to a complex supply chain structure, making it difficult to grasp the overall procurement sources and supply chain status, which this new mechanism aims to address [8] Group 2 - The shared system is expected to include around 20 domestic and international semiconductor companies, such as Renesas Electronics and Infineon Technologies, and will be operated by the Automotive and Battery Traceability Promotion Center [4] - The importance of automotive semiconductors is increasing, especially with the industry's shift towards autonomous driving and artificial intelligence, with the global market size projected to reach approximately $159.4 billion by 2035, an increase of over 80% from about $86.1 billion in 2025 [9] - The initiative aims to mitigate procurement risks associated with key components, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the automotive industry [9]
