COVID Banner:

According to the cables market trends, China accounts for 50% of the global consumer electronics consumption. The outbreak of COVID-19 had a major impact on both customers and companies. Electronics manufacturing hubs have temporarily been shut down to limit the virus spread. This affects the global supply chain, which is further expected to impact the suppliers and manufacturers across the world. COVID-19 is highlighting potential risk and vulnerability of the electronics industry and semiconductor value chain model.

The key players in the cables market have shifted toward agile supply chain network model that has multiple pathways to prevent single points of failure. This can help them to balance costs with better assurance for business continuity and sustainability. Shifting from single country hubs to more extensive regional supply networks is expected to initiate collaborative partnerships and industry associations. Stakeholders are anticipated to invest in resource and infrastructure that can quickly enable new manufacturing and supply nodes when required.
