Allocation Pressure Is a Triage Problem Before It Becomes a Spot-Buy Problem
When pricing or allocation pressure appears, buyers do not need blanket panic buying. They need a tighter triage process: confirm which component family is actually moving, separate lead-time signals from factory cycle time, review alternates, and tighten verification before spot offers start driving the plan.
India’s New Semiconductor Approvals Are a Diversification Signal, Not Immediate Supply Relief
India’s newly approved compound-semiconductor and OSAT projects add a useful regional signal for buyers watching power and industrial categories, but the announcement is better read as medium-term diversification than immediate supply relief.
Which board-level components feel the pressure from AI infrastructure?
AI infrastructure demand is not only a GPU story. Procurement teams should watch memory, power, connectors, passives, and the supporting board-level ecosystem before shortages appear at the line.
