Global Semiconductor Industry Policies and Supply Chain Ecosystems (pre-order)
With global supply chain disruptions and rising geopolitical tensions reshaping markets, nations are aggressively rolling out incentive policies to develop local semiconductor industries. Their goals: achieve greater self-sufficiency, secure strategic resources, and boost global competitiveness. Seizing this moment, leading Taiwanese wafer foundries such as TSMC, UMC, Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC), and Vanguard International Semiconductor (VISare becoming key players in these national initiatives, strategically expanding their presence worldwide. This report offers a deep dive into preferential semiconductor policies across major regions, including the United States, European Union, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and India, along with a detailed breakdown of their supply chain ecosystems. It also provides a framework for evaluating how these countries assess manufacturing environments across six critical dimensions, helping industry leaders make informed decisions when planning overseas semiconductor investments.
