In 2020, the global semiconductor market generated over USD 450 Bn revenue. About 60% of the growth was due to the strong demand for memory, GPUs, and 5G chipsets. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, many factories shut their doors. As a result, chip manufacturers were unable to predict future chip supply orders for months. What ensued was a global chip shortage, which continues to get worse with the growing demand for consumer electronics. 

Consider this: the scarcity of a nano-sized chip worth not more than 1-2% of a car’s entire BoM cost has caused the multi-billion-dollar automotive industry to falter. Netscribes estimates that the global chip shortage crisis could result in a loss of nearly eight million units of production in 2021. Meanwhile, the demand for semiconductor chips shows no signs of slowing down.
