CNBC recently published an article titled "China’s lockdowns could trigger a logistics snarl that may ‘dwarf’ 2020 and 2021". While we are hopeful that is not quite the case, it is important for everyone in the electronics industry to pay attention to.
The current COVID-19 lockdowns in Shanghai, China have been affecting supply chains in the electronics industry, as outgoing shipments from the city are suffering from delays and congestion.
Due to the lockdowns, shipments of electronic components and other products have been extremely difficult given the long freight lines in harbors around the general area.
As a result, the lead times for certain components, from chips to displays, have increased. However, the production of these electronics has not yet been affected as far as we know.
