Key Highlights
The market outlook for consumer electronics and the automotive industry is likely to be challenging for the rest of 2020, which will have a direct impact on component makers. Economic shutdowns, starting in China and subsequently spreading to most of the rest of the world, have hit supply chains and may also have a delaying impact on the prototyping and production of new products.
New car purchases, including electric vehicles, are not at the top of the agenda for either businesses or consumers. The Internet of Things (IoT), one of the strongest drivers of global component markets, will be less of a priority for both public and private organizations in 2020.
