TSMC is the largest semiconductor manufacture (chip manufacture) in the world and recently reported that it sees demand for chips slowing worldwide including in the automotive sector. "Automotive, server and network IC demand growth is slowing while demand for notebooks, smartphones and TVs remains sluggish, the sources indicated." It was reported that some of TSMC's major customers (Nvidia and AMD) have already started cutting back estimates for next year by 10 to 15 percent. TSMC did note that their manufacturing capacity will be tight for the remainder of 2022.

It looks like chip demand has already started easing and should ease more going into 2023.

Here is a link to the full article, but it is behind a paywall.
