Disruptions and supplier delivery times have lengthened to a degree not seen in 30 years. The ongoing electronic components shortage continues to disrupt businesses across the economy. Combined with other current supply chain issues like shipping congestion, the Ukrainian war, and city lockdowns due to COVID-19 outbreaks, the shortage is challenging electronics manufacturing.
