Shortages caused by ‘chipaggedon’ are hitting the smartphone market, yet hopes are for a bounceback in 2022
As if 2020 didn’t throw the world enough problems with the global pandemic, this year there’s a new pandemic of sorts impacting heavily on the smartphone market.
Thankfully it’s not another virus; it is instead a global chipset shortage, which has been referred to by some as ‘chipageddon’.
This has been born in part thanks to the drought in Taiwan, where much of the world’s semiconductors are produced.
The coronavirus pandemic hasn’t helped, with factories shut down as part of measures against the virus.
