Component lead times have followed a similar path. Top-tier semiconductor [lead times hit 40 weeks](https://accuristech.com/blog/blog-electronic-component-cost-increase-2026/) in March 2026, a 67% jump in a single month, and 72% of organisations now say the annual cost of reactive procurement decisions tops $50,000. Procurement teams tracking purchase price variances (PPVs) are absorbing many unfavourable variances in a single budget line this year.
