The Computer engineering industry is feeling the consequences of the corona pandemic with increasing force. The current survey by the VDMA, which was answered by 965 member companies, clearly shows this.
The proportion of companies whose operations are affected by the corona crisis rose from 60 % to 84 % within two weeks. Almost one in two affected companies (45 %) suffers from "serious" or "noticeable" disruptions along the supply chain. Only 5 % have been spared so far. "Logically, as the computer engineering vs computer science spreads, the problems in the factories increase as well. Parts and components that were ordered in Asia a few weeks ago have not arrived at the local plants. In addition, there are failures of European, also German suppliers. This leads to noticeable production burdens and also production losses", says VDMA chief economist Dr. Ralph Wiechers.
