2025 Component Shortage Guide

The electronic components market in 2025 is still under pressure. What started as a temporary disruption during the pandemic has turned into an ongoing structural challenge shaped by trade shifts, rising demand, and unpredictable supplier behavior. But while many struggle to keep up, Zenka Europe continues to deliver reliability, availability, and quality, right when it matters most.

The Shortage Still Matters

Lead times remain tight across memory, power, and specialized ICs. Even as certain categories stabilize, many buyers still face delays and unpredictable pricing. That’s where a strong sourcing partner makes the difference.

Our network connects you to verified global suppliers, giving access to hard-to-find and obsolete components that others can’t secure.

What’s Driving the Supply Pressure

• Trade policies and export limits continue to make sourcing from certain regions uncertain.
• Freight and logistics costs are climbing again, affecting delivery time and price stability.
• New demand from AI, EV, IoT, and data centers has absorbed much of the available capacity.
• Manufacturers shifting production lines toward higher-margin chips leave legacy parts in short supply.
• Uneven inventory levels across the market make stock forecasting more complex than ever.

Outlook
