ZTE supply chain risk
As of 2026-09-05, ZTE depends on 7 tracked suppliers headquartered in 2 countries (5 of them in China). 1 of those suppliers hold a monopoly or leader position in their own segment, led by Broadcom. The dataset records no companies downstream of ZTE: it sits at the demand end of the chain, so the risk here runs upstream only.
Data as of 2026-09-05 · suppliers are the curated key_supplier edges in the wafergraph dataset (researched or segment-inferred — see /methodology) · criticality is the graph-derived chokepoint score, 0–100
Dominant and single-source suppliers
- Broadcom — leader in Networking Silicon, United States
A monopoly or leader supplier is the hardest to replace. These are the edges to watch first.
Suppliers by country
- China — 5 suppliers (71%)
- United States — 2 suppliers (29%)
