On the basis of geographical analysis, the global semiconductor foundry market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific industry is set to account for largest revenue share by 2037, on the back of well-established semiconductors industry in China and Japan, generation of large amount of revenue in Taiwan, and rapid economic growth in countries, namely India and China. Apart from these, Japan is becoming heavily invested in attracting overseas company for securing its own ship supplies and addressing the global shortage of semiconductors. For instance, in April of the year 2020, semiconductors worth USD 2.8 billion were approximately sold in Japan, which rose up to about USD 3.3 billion by the end of December that year. This is expected to be another factor driving market growth in the coming years. Strong presence of prominent market players is also predicted to drive market growth in this region.
August 2021- China’s semiconductor magnate SIMC announced the production of 8-inch silicon wafers in Qingdao and is also involved in the testing of its new 12 inch production line as well. These initiatives are aimed at expanding the capacity of country’s mature technology nodes.
