Tariff Impact Analysis
New U.S. tariffs on semiconductor imports in 2025 introduce headwinds across the NAND flash memory supply chain. Additional levies are prompting major manufacturers to evaluate localization strategies, reconfigure procurement, and diversify sourcing. These measures affect inventory management, cost structures, and contracting approaches in both raw material and finished device segments. Regional assembly and value-added service hubs outside tariff-impacted areas are becoming increasingly strategic to manage risk.
