Looking back at 2021, seismic shifts moved the semiconductor industry, with the most notable being the global ripple effects of the chip shortage. The year 2022 is bound to see the chip shortage continue to impact supply chains, but there are several other key trends that will dramatically shape the landscape of this industry. Let's look ahead.
