How will the global pandemic of 2020 transform the semiconductors industry?

Big data, IoT, 5G, and AI are often touted to transform the semiconductors industry. Clearly, new chipsets are being developed and tailored for compute-intensive processing. But transformations are often predictions directed to the future. What about now? How will the global pandemic of 2020 transform the semiconductors industry? This question could go many directions from actual innovations in chipsets to supply chain issues. To company consolidations (mergers and acquisitions to career changes. So, if you chose to chime into this discussions, we as broad-based or as narrow-based as you like.

    I think that electronics companies, a long with most other companies, will look more closely at being able to continue 'working' in the event of another pandemic style event (I heard predictions of an…

    There are lots of obvious things that will affect the electronics industry: We will see an increase in telecommuting, telecomputing, teleconferencing, online services, online ordering, delivery services…

    I agree with Doug and Dubbie, that the biggest change will be in the continuation of working from home. I've been lucky enough to work from companies where this has always been possible. Many companies…

    I think we'll see a slight tick up in smart manufacturing. Instead of dedicated purpose machines, we'll see an increase in flexible manufacturing so more companies will be able to change what they manufacture…

    I think that electronics companies, a long with most other companies, will look more closely at being able to continue 'working' in the event of another pandemic style event (I heard predictions of an even worse pandemic in the near future - doesn't bear thinking about), so there is likely to be more internet selling and buying and internet communications.

     

    There will be more resilience in supply chains, possibly with large stocks being held locally, . Healthcare systems will improve significantly in terms of dealing with pandemic style events, so more ICU beds (or more likely the ability to implement large numbers of ICU beds in a short time period), better air conditioning and air filtering systems in hospitals, more hand sanitising (I still haven't been able to buy any hand sanitiser since before the pandemic started -  I resorted to buying soap and even that was in short supply).

     

    I will definitely be buying my salad seeds well in advance in future and I'll get the bread maker to work properly (as in make bread I actually want to eat).
