Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on semiconductor equipment, substrate materials, and advanced packaging components have elevated production costs for fan out wlp, particularly impacting foundries and osats reliant on imported bumping and rdl processing tools. Regions such as North America and Europe face higher procurement costs and longer lead times for packaging materials sourced from Asia Pacific. Despite these challenges, tariffs are encouraging domestic semiconductor packaging expansion, stimulating local manufacturing capacity, and promoting innovation in cost optimized high density packaging technologies.
