Here is a brief overview to provide insights into the current landscape.
Shortage of raw materials for power supplies.
The electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and 5G network industries are growing rapidly, leading to a high demand for raw materials, which is extending delivery times and increasing the selling price of MOSFET, MLCC, etc...
Forecasts suggest that this situation may persist throughout 2022.
For this reason, we strongly recommend purchasing your orders well in advance of your needs.
Copper crisis
The purchase price of copper saw a historic increase throughout the past year, and it is expected to reach $5.00/lb by 2022.
Fewer workers
The ongoing increase in Covid-19 cases has inevitably led to a decrease in workers in the sector. Additionally, the Chinese New Year period has seen Chinese workers reduce their working hours, further exacerbating the situation. We hope that the current vaccination campaign will bring concrete positive results by the first half of 2022.
Shortage of containers for transportation
The lack of available containers for transportation, as well as the ongoing congestion at seaports, is causing increased delivery delays and supply shortages. The entire supply chain has experienced a slowdown in Asia that is six times larger than a year ago.
