According to the Semiconductor Industry Association’s 2025 Factbook and World Semiconductor Trade Statistics data, around 90% of all chips produced today go into consumer electronics.
Maybe that’s not surprising—but it should make us pause and ask:
Are other industry sectors being left behind?
As chipmakers race to deliver the latest and greatest technology for phones, laptops, and other consumer devices, what happens to industries that rely on older-generation chips, the ones still essential for keeping critical systems running?
When semiconductor companies issue End-of-Life (EOL) notices and phase out mature components, the impact ripples across Defense & Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Industrial & Infrastructure, and Healthcare—all sectors with long product lifecycles and strict reliability requirements.
The result?
OEMs spend massive time and resources trying to manage obsolescence, with few viable solutions available… until now.
At Phoenix, we’re working to change that, by delivering trusted, domestically produced components to government and commercial partners who rely on these technologies for sustained and secure operations.
By ensuring access to critical semiconductor components long after the original manufacturers have moved on, we’re helping safeguard the industries that power and protect our world.
