The reasons for the current shortage in the market for electronic parts and components are diverse: the production was shut down or came to a complete standstill. And as so often in times of crisis, some urgently needed components are also threatened by discontinuation. Thereby delivery times are extended; the logistics are affected. At the same time, the demand is increasing for obsolete components. Because of the Corona crisis, the speed of innovation has slowed. Instead of new investments, existing products are used and new purchases or new developments partially postponed. The importance of the open market for the global economy The importance of the open market for the global economy is particularly evident in times of crisis. Because the procurement of electronic parts and components via free distributors such as Pegasus Components is an important part of the global supply chain.
