Seoul - Ramped-up U.S. restrictions on Huawei are likely to choke the Chinese company's access to even off-the-shelf chips, threaten its crown as the world's largest smartphone maker and disrupt global tech supply, executives and experts warned.
"If the choking of Huawei continues there will be reverberations across the semiconductor complex," said Neil Campling, head of TMT research at Mirabaud Securities."And the retaliation from China remains unknown and a significant risk."If Huawei cannot source chipsets as a result of the expanded curbs, its"handset business will likely disappear", Jefferies said in a note.
In Europe, German chipmaker Infineon, which counts Huawei as a key customer for its power management products, and Austrian sensor specialist ams said they were reviewing the impact of the latest U.S. restrictions. But there are likely to be some winners in the longer term if Huawei is forced to relinquish its spot as the world's largest smartphone maker.
