The shortage of microcircuits will not end this year, it has already inflated the shares of manufacturers

The shortage of microcircuits has affected various industries around the world. However, despite the deficit, the value of shares of chip manufacturers during this time reached a record level.

Analysts expect the chip shortage to continue through at least the end of this year. The main cause is the coronavirus pandemic. A prime example of an industry struggling with current chip shortages is the auto industry, with automakers struggling to keep production going.

According to Maribel Lopez, chief analyst at Lopez Research, the semiconductor industry is currently facing a “perfect storm” of supply and demand that is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. The analyst also believes that a serious economic crisis may occur in the world.

One of the things that is happening right now is that almost every new product you buy contains a chip. Today, it is getting harder and harder to buy a stupid device.

Demand for mobile single-chip systems for smartphones increased in the past year, with no spike in the PC market. Recently, the semiconductor industry has been working on supplying products for new industries, so the manufacturing process has become more complex.
