However, its global supply chains are under increasing strain. Some of the most pressing risks include: > Traceability Gaps: Global supply chains often fail to ensure authenticity and prevent counterfeit or tampered components, leading to reputational and financial risks. > Scalability Pressures: Manufacturers are grappling with the challenge of maintaining quality while scaling up production to meet surging demand. > Regulatory Compliance: Legislative frameworks such as the EU Chip Act and the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act impose stricter standards on traceability, safety, and environmental impact, creating potential barriers for non-compliant entities. > Post-Sale Risks: The lifecycle of electronic products extends beyond manufacturing to maintenance and recycling, where risks of tampering and counterfeit parts escalate. Notable factors include: Electronics Market Growth: The semiconductor market is expected to surpass $1 trillion by 2030, with AI and IoT demand fueling the expansion of data centers and hardware ecosystems.
