In aerospace and defence, where programmes can span decades, secure and traceable supply chains are vital in ensuring successful programmes are delivered on time and within budget. From managing obsolescence and regulatory risk to mitigating geopolitical disruption, early procurement decisions can determine long-term success. This article explores the key risks and how to address them
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) says global semiconductor sales were $64.9 billion during the month of August 2025, an increase of 21.7% compared to the August 2024 total of $53.3 billion and 4.4% more than the July 2025 total of $62.1 billion. AsiaPacific and All Other led the way chalking up a year on year
According to research from Counterpoint Research, the global semiconductor foundry market’s revneue grew 19% year-on-year in Q2 2025, predominantly driven by sustained AI demand on both advanced process and advanced packaging, and also benefited from pull-in demand by a China subsidy programme. This momentum will continue to accelerate, resulting in a mid-single digit QoQ revenue
Doing a lot with a little. That encapsulates the approach of Slovenia, a country whose electronics manufacturing industry is small – but continuing to grow. As a member country of the EU, Slovenia draws on its links to a wide base of research and development, as it builds on the foundation of a strong electronics
There are numerous factors that contribute to the success or otherwise of an organisation’s sourcing strategy; choice of suppliers, logistics, legal structures, industry, people, markets served, location, and more. Relationships with these ‘influencers’ are usually well established, having evolved over time as the organisation grew, matured, and sometimes diversified. An organisation that has invested thoughtfully
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) became law in December 2024 – mandating that from 2027, products with digital elements and connectivity must adhere to a strict set of rules in their design, documentation, and support before they can be supplied into the EU. In this article, David Pashley, Co-Founder & Managing Director at Direct
Global spending on semiconductor manufacturing equipment totalled $33.07 billion in Q2 of 2025, according to SEMI and SEAJ. Q2 2025 spending was up 23% compared with the same quarter the previous year. Other figures showed that China had the largest spending at $11.36 billion, making up 34% of the total. However, China spending in Q2
