The goods are often delivered in the wrong number or at a later time, as many ships are stuck in queues, for example. “In addition, there is the global lack of chips, which is slowing down production,” says Genth.
All in all, the corona pandemic caused major problems in the international supply chains, which are only slowly recovering and will probably still be noticeable at Christmas time this year.
