Concerns about the lack of components and rising prices, changes in the landscape of the chip industry, the evolution of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E and the adoption of 5G in nearby and remote areas are the subject of Neil Patel estimates , D-Link’s Director of European Marketing and Business Development for 2022, formulated on an annual basis.
As the D-Link’s annual forecast by Neil Patel points out, the world is relying more than ever on technology, which is going through one of the most difficult times. With so many aspects of everyday life being backed up by digital media, technology that incorporates high technology to operate, such as semiconductor chips, is truly inherent in every dimension of the economy today. A major problem on a global scale is their current significant shortage. During the pandemic, the demand for services increased rapidly, and frequent cases of global transport and production delays hampered the ability of many companies to respond to supply.
In particular, its forecasts for 2022 focus on four axes
Initially, there will be a constant shortage of components and rising prices. Lack of components is a major problem in the technology industry, affecting other sectors as well. As a result of production delays, resellers have to double or in some cases triple their orders to multiple suppliers, which puts even more pressure on supply. Manufacturers of microchips and components had to increase production costs, such as TSMC, which announced in August 2021 that it would increase chip prices by about 20%, which would lead to higher prices in 2022.
-We will need to reshape the landscape of the microchip industry. Top market players in chip manufacturing are still Taiwan’s Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics, which together control more than 70% of the semiconductor manufacturing market. Other manufacturers in other countries, such as Intel in the US, are doubling chip production to ease the global supply chain. Major industry forces are trying to boost their accent with extensive production, while governments are gearing up to increase investment in the industry, aiming to increase local production.
-Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E will evolve. In June 2021, the European Commission published in the Official Journal of the European Union Executive Decision C (2021) 4240, making available an additional 480 MHz band in the 6 GHz band for Wi-Fi, almost doubling the total amount of bandwidth for Wi-Fi. Fi. The advent of Wi-Fi 6E is a milestone in the evolution of Wi-Fi and is expected to lead to an increase in economic value for the European Union. As we move forward in 2022, private and public sector investment will be boosted in this area. However, delays in the supply chain will slow down their progress.
-Adoption of 5G in nearby and remote areas. Global 5G connections are set to more than double by 2025, bringing the total number of mobile internet subscribers to 5 billion, according to the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA). Therefore, it is likely that we will see significant infrastructure investments by mobile phone companies next year to support 5G technology and devices. There will also be increased investment in rural areas, where connectivity has been lacking in the past. As supply chain problems hamper the technology sector, these investments are likely to be delayed. However, the direction in which the industry is moving is unquestionable.
Catalysts for next year, according to D-Link estimates, will be patience and future planning, so that supply chains remain as stable as possible and production, transportation and product delivery are tackled. less fluctuations. In addition, with so many new and impressive technologies on the market, including Wi-Fi 6 and 5G, partnerships between governments and companies will become valuable, so that these technologies can be used not only by consumers and businesses but also in the future design of urban digital infrastructure.
