Global gaming suppliers are among a range of industries set to benefit from an expected easing of semiconductor supply shortages in the second half of this year.
According to ratings agency Fitch, the chip shortage will ease despite pockets of near record low inventory throughout the supply chain due to increased capacity and the potential for demand to moderate from currently high levels.
The global chip shortage has been brought on by a range of conflating factors, most notably ongoing border restrictions in the key manufacturing jurisdictions of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Many of the world’s largest chipmakers, including leading edge foundries Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) and Samsung Electronics produce a significant amount of chips in these countries, Fitch observed.
