From COVID we were an essential organization delivering technology products to healthcare organizations. So we haven\u2019t stopped and we don\u2019t plan on stopping,\u201d said John Medaska, the company\u2019s executive Vice President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now with the shortage, he said they\u2019re seeing hundreds of companies they haven\u2019t talked to before come to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe put a lifetime warranty on all of our products here so that risk is overcome by that product set. So when they get that product and it gets to them overnight and it works great at half the price it\u2019s very popular. But it\u2019s not only growing with our customer it\u2019s growing with people who\u2019ve never considered it only because they can\u2019t wait six months for their product for infrastructure,\u201d said Medaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Chip Shortage News Story\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2KOdh8T_TTE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact of the shortage is felt across different industries though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSemiconductors are becoming more and more relevant the supply chain complexity is increasing,\u201d said Gaurev Gupta, a VP analyst at Gartner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained the pandemic leading to an increase in demand, U.S. and Chine trade issues, the 5G era and isolated weather events contributed, resulting in increased prices and delays in getting products for some companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll see price increases to go up until the end of this year and hopefully the situation\u2019s improved by the second quarter of next year. One, because we expect some more capacity to come online so supply will be able to meet the demand and then we will see some demand saturating down,\u201d said Gaurev Gupta, a VP analyst at Gartner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Consumer Technology Association explained consumers still have a strong appetite for technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConsumers are going to find really a mixed bag of availability as they\u2019re&nbsp;shopping across consumer tech, even automotive, appliances and so forth and they just need to be patient or be willing to go with a different brand in order to get this product now,\u201d said Steve Koenig, the association\u2019s Vice President of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Koenig said the shortage isn\u2019t uniformly distributed across brands and categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think generally we expect an industry to really start to be able to meet this level of demand by the first part of next year. So this crisis is going to be with us for a little bit of time. So that has implications as we look towards holiday. It\u2019s a little early to talk about holiday shopping but in any case, just thinking about buying early or at least starting to shop early to get a view to which products are in stock,\u201d said Koenig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, Trifecta is focused on getting its products out the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s brought attention to areas we can help companies both in Tampa Bay, Florida and across North America,\u201d said Medaska.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While a chip shortage impacts different industries, one local company says it\u2019s seeing a boom in business.
