Business tycoons yesterday said that component shortages might persist through next year due mainly to lingering demand-supply imbalances and chaos in the shipping industry.
“It will take a while to resolve ongoing component shortages that have slowed product delivery,” said Rock Hsu (許勝雄), chairman of the Third Wednesday Club (三三會), whose membership is limited to the top 100 firms in each business sector.
Companies would have to exercise caution in dealing with the issue, as it might extend into next year, Hsu said.
