I don't mean existing manufacturers necessarily. Unfortunately there are no certainties, but I'd say give it some time. These chips are (or at the very least becoming) strategic commodities, so the greater the squeeze the more appealing the business case will be. Besides, both the US and EU want to grow their chip manufacturing capacity and it's not like there is no investment money available. So at some point production capacity will grow.

The the demand stays elastic and the supply doesn't then you can just scale the pricing as much as you want. Saying you're sold out for the year is literally telling everyone in advance the prices will continue to be manipulated .
