May 13, 2021: According to analysts that monitor the industry, semiconductors will be in short supply for some time to come yet. Chip is in everything from PlayStation 5s and toothbrushes to washing machines and alarm clocks in the present life. But there’s not enough to go around. It’s a multifaceted issue indicate that no signs of abating, leading some to call the current crisis “Chipageddon.”
Glenn O’Donnell, a vice president of research director at advisory firm Forrester, believes the shortage could last around 2023.
“Because demand will be high and supply will remain constrained, we expect this shortage to last from 2022 and into 2023,” he wrote in a blog. O’Donnell expects demand for PCs, which contain the most advanced chips, to “soften a bit” in the future but “not a lot.”
Meanwhile, he expects data centers full of computer servers to buy more chips in the future years after describing it as “dismal 2020.”
“Couple that with the unstoppable desire to instrument everything, along with continued growth in cloud computing and cryptocurrency mining,” said O’Donnell.
The world’s largest chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, said that it would catch up with automotive demand by June. Armstrong believes that it is ambitious. “It shouldn’t go longer,” he said.
“The industry is putting more capacity in place, but it will take time.” Indeed, in March, Intel announced that it would spend $20 billion on two new chip factories in Arizona. Intel has also said it could build a plant in Europe if it gets public funding.
“That stuff is going take two or three years before we start to see that,” Priestley said. “But that’s looking to meet future demand.”
However, last Tuesday, the chief executive of German chipmaker Infineon said that the semiconductor industry is in unchartered territory.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
