Anglia Components warns of extended lead times as the market rebounds

Anglia Components is warning its customers that lead times for certain electronic components are beginning to lengthen, against a backdrop of recovering demand in the UK and Europe. The distributor notes that order volumes and business activity have risen since the end of 2025, as forecast. Simultaneously, some suppliers have started extending lead times for specific product categories, such as MEMS semiconductors, driven in part by demand from sectors like AI data centers. This, coupled with lower inventory levels in the distribution channel, is starting to impact prices in some areas. Anglia anticipates shortages and further lead time extensions as demand grows and strongly advises placing scheduled orders now
