Long delays in the delivery of appliances caused by adverse global conditions are expected throughout 2021 and much of 2022 affecting the whole industry and across appliance brands.
Supply and Demand
Manufacturing industries especially appliance productions are experiencing supply-side and demand challenges including:
—global shortages of electronic components such as semiconductors;
—logistical challenges caused by port closures/slowdowns;
—the resurgence of Covid-19;
—an unprecedented surge in housing and remodeling activity.
Delays
The length of delays varies by product and availability changes daily; however fulfillment for some products have recently been around 4 to 6 months, and we expect conditions to be challenging for the foreseeable future.
