Engineered shortages

Amazing how so many products / materials that saw reduced demand due to pandemic have now had ‘issues’ causing a shortage . Prices of course shoot up so revenue at a higher rate replaces revenue lost due to lack of demand. Cynical or what?

Very cynical....reduced demand means less production and stockholding. Sudden increased demand means production has to catch up.

Plus it is way more expensive to move goods around... And it's taking longer to move goods.. Even urgent air freight etc is takes longer than it used to.... Less planes /slots maybe ?

There are very few products where one supplier or manufacturer has a monopoly, so it’s unlikely they all got together and agreed to manipulate the market. Also decreased demand in the recent past will either mean stockpiles in warehouses they the want to get moved on but can’t due to haulage problems, or a shortage of raw materials available for them to make their product, or cut backs in production in the recent past are only tentatively being scaled back up again to not over extend the business financially.

Not everything is a conspiracy

I work in construction and the same thing happened during the dark days of the credit crunch, massive sudden changes in economies causes uncertantity which in turn leads to price inflation. This time seems to be a perfect storm of events in quick succession which has caused a whole bunch of issues across most sectors.

Th supply chain is the issue. You can not simply turn a complex supply chain on and off
