The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the supply chain of raw materials and components across the globe. The pandemic has also resulted in declining sales in the semiconductor industry, which is severely impacting the microcontroller market. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, the global semiconductor sales declined by 3.6% in the first quarter of 2020 due to disruption in international trade activities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with this, several major consumer electronics manufacturers have halted their manufacturing operations due to several lockdown scenarios. This has further declined the adoption of microcontroller, hindering the market growth for the short-term.
