The global chip shortage isn’t going to end soon, says Forrester research director

The well-documented global chip shortage that drained global supply in 2020 isn’t likely to abate anytime soon, Forrester Vice President and Research Director Glenn O’Donnell predicted in a new blog post. The once-boring semiconductor industry, O’Donnell said, is now the center of attention in the tech world and beyond as the world comes to the realization that practically every product we use contains a semiconductor of some kind and there’s nowhere enough manufacturing capacity to produce them all.
