UNDERSTANDING THE GLOBAL COMPONENT SHORTAGE
IT PRICING IS CHANGING
HERES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...
The global technology market is currently facing significant price fluctuations, especially for devices that depend on memory components, such as laptops, desktops, and servers. This is due to a worldwide shortage of key parts. As a result, lead times are inconsistent and prices are increasing and changing more frequently, making it more difficult for organisations to plan with the level of certainty they are used to.
Here at CBC, we want to help organisations navigate these changes by providing up-to-date guidance, highlighting any risks early on and balancing immediate needs with longer-term planning, helping you to make confident, well-timed decisions with complete clarity.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
FOR YOU?

WE UNDERSTAND...
The need for pricing stability, especially within fixed budgets or procurement frameworks. However, component shortages and rising global demand is leading suppliers to raise prices more frequently and with limited notice.
therefore, you may notice that...
- Quotes have shorter validity periods than usual
- Pricing for devices is significantly higher than usual.
- Availability and lead times shift depending on supply
- Price between quotation and order placement may differ
This is an unusual and fast-moving period for the technology market, but as your technology partner, we’re here to help you make sense of the options and move forward with complete transparency.
We are working closely with our suppliers and monitoring the market daily to ensure we:
- Provide the most accurate and up-to-date pricing possible
- Offer alternative options where appropriate to meet your budget
- Communicate any changes as early as we can
