As the electronics industry heads into summer, there are some signs that lead times for electronics may be shortening. Although the industry will not reach normal inventories in major chip categories until mid-2023, the Gartner Inventory Semiconductor Supply Chain Tracking Index predicts some normalization already this fall. Inventors of electronic gadgets are clearly counting on this - and are posting numerous offers on funding platforms in the hope of investment.
We've reviewed these campaigns and hand-picked a few creative and fun ones that still have time to finalize funding. We looked for electronics projects that have been funded multiple times, even if their campaign hasn't even ended yet.
The list includes everything from a cool electric scooter to an electronically enhanced lunch box that will heat or cool your food on the go. Some of these projects were fully funded within an hour of publication. All of them show a constant demand for electronic components. We believe this is one of the most promising indicators, supporting predictions that the global semiconductor industry will grow by 10 percent in 2022 and reach $600 billion for the first time in history, according to McKinsey.
