While variables like rising metal prices are out of manufacturers’ control, taking charge of excess inventory solutions offers stability. In an already volatile market, the cost of source metals is rising. A recent survey by IPC found that nine out of ten...
Semiconductor global supply and demand had an outsize impact on automotive manufacturing in recent years. What does the future look like for chip-heavy vehicles? New consumer electric vehicle adoption has increased around 50% a year since 2015, thanks in large part to...
Supply chain challenges impacting discrete manufacturing will continue in 2022, posing critical opportunities for resiliency. Though late 2021 reports from IC Insights and other industry sources indicated that discrete manufacturing was looking up, we see that...
Tracking semiconductor mergers provides a valuable window into the future market. After a year of major semiconductor mergers, NVIDIA’s merger with Arm was blocked by the FTC. Concerns about the largest-ever-proposed semiconductor merger included stifling competition,...
Not long ago, the United States manufactured over a third of the world’s semiconductors. But as other countries rose to challenge that dominance, America’s contribution waned — falling all the way to 12% of international output. The CHIPS for America Act is slated to...
St. Petersburg, FLA. – January 18, 2022 (EIN Presswire) – A2 Global Electronics + Solutions (A2), a global leader in electronic component distribution and supply chain services, has successfully achieved accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and certification to SAE’s...
