Yes, we actually ran a B2B survey on this late last year across 200+ procurement managers in electronics and automotive. Short answer: about 62% reported actively diversifying their approved vendor lists as a direct response to shortages. For ongoing data, Gartner's supply chain pulse reports and ISM's monthly PMI surveys are solid starting points — ISM in particular tracks supplier delivery times which correlates well with loyalty shifts.
