As the rest of the world begins to return to "normal", the electronics market is still reeling from the component shortages caused by the pandemic. Due mainly to factory closures, the supply issue has been heightened by consumer demand for electronics (i.e. computers, phones, electronic games) whilst stuck at home. The electric car industry has also had a big impact on demand as we’re seeing manufacturers such as Honda and BMW having to close down production at their manufacturing plants. Long lead times are no longer manufacturer or component specific and major increases are being seen across the board.
