Supply and demand issues

Post by Roblof »

This was posted by Behringer:
”Manufacturing and Shipment delays. As you may have noticed, many products experience dramatic shipment delays. Covid and increased demand have put an unprecedented constraint on the supply of electronic chips and even shipping containers, to the point that car manufacturers had to shut down complete plants.
We are equally facing shortage of these chips, which is causing serious manufacturing delays. In some cases chips now face an allocation of over one year and more.
Be assured that we’re doing our utmost to mitigate this situation, but there are only limited options.

We thank you for your understanding and continuous support.”

Factories are going up in my neighborhood like weeds. They opened a new section of the industrial park and immediately put up 4 new factories. The Taiwan economy is on fire. They are going as fast as they can. The shortage won't last long - just like the mask shortage. In 60 days, our mask production capability went to 30M/day by bringing 60 new assembly lines online.

I was looking at a Tascam 32 x 32 Dante audio interface. The normal price on this unit is USD$ 1,999.00. It's no longer listed on Sweetwater and everywhere I've looked, the price is at least $1,000 higher. One place was 2,999 British Pounds! Prices are going up due to supply issues.

My biggest customer told me that my last shipment to him cost 3 times what the previous shipment did. The herd is going to be seriously thinned out by this. I you are considering an equipment purchase you should do it now because it's double or triple the price for the foreseeable future.
