The semiconductor industry is at the start of a 10-year reset in the wake of the pandemic, geopolitical turmoil, and the resulting global chip shortage. It is reshaping itself to enable the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Key Highlights
- Beijing, Washington, and Brussels will protect their sovereignties and hedge against external shocks by building sufficient onshore chip-making capacity by 2030. This will ensure steady local supplies of chips for their defense and security establishments and local industries.
- TSMC and Samsung Electronics currently supply 35% of all the world’s chips and 100% of the most advanced chips from their Asian foundries. They will diversify their manufacturing plants via subsidized projects in the US and Europe. Each already has expansion projects underway in the US.
- There will be friction between the leading US chip companies (Intel, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Nvidia, Applied Materials, Synopsys) and Washington. The former relies on China for, on average, 35% of their revenues and much of their future growth, while the latter seeks to contain China by depriving it of US technology.
