Out of the box Global shortage of chips
There is a global shortage of chips affecting the manufacture of many products - cars, mobile phones, computers, etc.

What is the cause of this chip shortage?

I listened to an expert who explain that it is due to high demand. The "work from home" economy requires many households to buy computers. There is a large demand for computers and mobile devices. All of them require chips.

There is also a large demand due to the move to 5G - mobile phone, telecommunication equipments, etc.

Many products are now being digitalized. They also require chips.

We have to wait for the chip manufacturers to increase their capacity. This will take time. Meanwhile, there will be delay in the production and delivery of many products.
