Most of the attention on the 2026 component market has gone to memory, where DRAM and NAND prices have climbed sharply. A second shortage is building that gets far less coverage but touches many more products. It is hitting the mature node parts that go into almost...
The electronic component market has produced a clear divergence in 2026, and nowhere is it sharper than in memory. As conditions across the broader supply base continue to tighten, the memory chip shortage now defining the year has pushed DRAM and NAND decisively into...
The semiconductor market heading into the second half of 2026 is not behaving like a market in recovery. It is behaving like a market that is selectively repricing risk. Capacity is shifting toward the sectors willing to pay the most for it, and procurement teams...
Every procurement team that sources obsolete electronic components has faced the same scene. Three quotes land in the inbox for the same part number. One is dramatically lower than the other two. The business unit vice president wants the cheaper price, the engineer...
Procurement teams entered 2026 expecting a different environment. The forecasts heading into the year leaned toward continued normalization, manageable lead times, and a shift back to optimization work after several years of crisis response. That environment did not...
In aerospace and defense procurement, reballing is a familiar tool. Lead-free to leaded conversions, obsolescence workarounds, compromised packaging — there are good reasons to reball, and experienced engineers and buyers know them. What’s harder to answer is...
The AI revolution isn’t coming. It’s here, and it’s putting serious pressure on electronic component supply chains. At A2 Global, we see this firsthand. The same global procurement network that gives us visibility into component availability across...
Just-in-time delivery was supposed to be the answer to bloated warehouses and capital tied up in sitting inventory. For decades, it delivered on that promise, allowing manufacturers and procurement teams to run leaner operations by synchronizing supply precisely with...
The semiconductor industry has always been cyclical. Demand rises while supply catches up. Then, prices normalize. Procurement teams learned to ride those waves for decades. That playbook is now broken. In a recent Procurement Pro webinar, “How to Future-Proof...
As distributors enter 2026, the electronics supply chain is navigating a landscape defined by normalization, lingering volatility, and evolving regional and trade dynamics. As part of the Distributors Outlook 2026 published by Supply Chain Connect, industry leaders...
