Profit pressures: Semiconductor shortages keep input prices high and profit low
The Computer and Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing industry has performed robustly, driven by the strong performance of major companies Apple Operations Europe and Kingston Technology International Ltd. Growth has also been driven by the growing digitalisation of businesses and the public sector. Revenue has grown at a compound annual rate of 0.9% over the five years through 2023, despite a 0.7% drop in 2023, to reach €8.6 billion. Profit has been constrained, primarily due to a global chip shortage, raising manufacturers' costs.
