Global chip shortage has affected more than 169 industries, leading to major shortages and queues amongst consumers for video cards, video game consoles, cars, and other electrical devices.
The cause of the global chip crisis is a combination of different events with the COVID-19 pandemic being the primary reason. Other causes have been attributed to the China-United States trade war and Taiwan drought. (ILKHA)
