Effect Of Globally Disrupted Shipping Sector & high cost of sea freights in the supply chain, shortages of semiconductor in Industry

 

In the aftermath of the coronavirus recession, the world has been left to face an energy crunch time as the supply of natural gas, coal, and other energy sources fail to adequately satisfy the ramped-up demand. Since energy prices affect economic decisions across the supply chain, the rise in prices has had a significant impact on economies with many companies in Europe, Asia, and Africa shutting down, unable to bear high energy costs.

Semiconductors are the foundation of advanced technologies, The shortage in its supply is hamstringing the production of products ranging from cars and computers to all smart appliances and might extend into 2022 and potentially beyond, as reported by experts in the semiconductor industries.

The cost of moving shipping containers around the world has ballooned because of sudden shifts in demand during the pandemic. It is accompanied by a rise in both air and water freight fees.
