Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, supply chain resiliency has become a top priority for every company. Consumer electronics manufacturers are no exception. Companies involved in creating the products and components that are critical to our everyday lives face an urgent need to make their supply chains less vulnerable to events that could interrupt their businesses.
This was the impetus for a major research study commissioned by the Consumer Technology Association and conducted by Kearney. The study explored how U.S. consumer electronics manufacturers could build resiliency by reducing their supply chains’ dependence on China and Taiwan.
