In a year where there have been shortages on everything from Grape-Nuts cereal to chicken wings, another is looming that could affect students return to school.
Experts say it s possible some school supplies could be harder to find and may sell out. Plus, prices may be on the rise.
Neil Saunders, managing director of consultancy GlobalData Retail, told USA TODAY he expects demand will be high on products like backpacks, sneakers, some gadgets and stationery.
“While we are unlikely to see apocalyptic shortages, the continued pressure on supply chains means that not all retailers will get an optimal amount of supply,” Saunders said. What this means is consumers will have less choice, and some may not be able to get exactly what they want, especially towards the end of the back-to-school season.
