Why Are Electronic Hardware Prices Rising? A Brief Industry Overview
Share
Recently, the prices of electronic devices and key hardware components have increased significantly, including chips, modules, power components, and various sensors. The main reasons include:
-
Upstream capacity shortages: Limited wafer and IC production has extended lead times and driven up component prices.
-
Rising raw material costs: Copper, aluminum, tin, and other metals continue to increase in price, pushing manufacturing costs higher.
-
Surging demand for smart technologies: Rapid growth in AI devices, smart home products, and security systems has concentrated industry capacity and raised overall costs.
-
Higher logistics and compliance expenses: Increases in international shipping, insurance, and warehousing have added further pressure on supply chain costs.
