Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber expects no relief from supply bottlenecks in the next 12 to 18 months because of high semiconductor demand from AI applications. Practically every Logitech product depends on chips, while a substantial share of memory chips is being used for expanding AI infrastructure. Despite the shortages, Logitech launches about 40 new products annually and sees new sales opportunities from AI for peripherals such as microphones, headsets and input devices. The company also adjusted supply‑chain flows because of the Middle East conflict and now serves certain regions from the Netherlands and China. » Mere på finanzen.net
