Total shortage of microchips in the world

According to the Susquehanna report (https://bit.ly/3qa5Jqc), in
December 2021, the average waiting time for an order for chips
increased by another 6 days, and reached 25.8 weeks (almost
6 months), which is a historical record.
iResearch electronics (https://bit.ly/3t98Xwd) supplemented this
with a breakdown by separate categories, noting that out of 34
items, the waiting time for an order increased for 30 items, and
prices increased for 28. In particular, the waiting time for an
order on voltage regulator is now 31-35 weeks, 8-bit MCU - 
30-48 weeks, 32-bit MCU - 24-41 weeks, and FPGA - 45-65
weeks (over a year!).
One or more of these components are found in almost all
manufactured products, especially military production. That is,
the manufacture of finished products is delayed by 6 months
due to deliveries. Stocks of components around the world have
already been spent over the past two years of the pandemic.
Thus, the "world behind the scenes" gradually reduces the level
of consumption and production around the world, causing
paralysis. To speed up the delivery of critical sectors of the
economy. I will continue to monitor these trends.
