Why are there currently longer delivery times for electronic components?

There are several reasons for the delays in the delivery of electronic components.

• Reduced production capacities
• Increased demand
• Corona measures in the ports
• Shipping containers are in short supply

The coronavirus crisis in particular led to major upheavals in 2020. Many manufacturers in Asia had to close factories due to low demand and other manufacturers are struggling with production backlogs. As a result, the production capacities of many companies are already fully booked for 2021.
As the coronavirus crisis is slowly coming to an end, demand for electronic components is rising again in many industries.

The automotive industry and consumer electronics in particular have a higher demand. This demand is often given priority, as many factories have prioritized their production on chips for these sectors.

This situation of tight production capacities and increased demand led to lead times being extended by several weeks or months in some cases.
