Global semiconductor market: Top semiconductor manufacturing nation
Semiconductors are key to the virtual economy; however, their production capacity is not evenly distributed, nor is it properly quantified. Different nations are engaged in different parts of the value chain. Explore the top 5 countries with the largest production capacity.
Taiwan
Taiwan, even after being isolated and under immense pressure from China, accounts for approximately 68 per cent of the global advanced process semiconductor foundry market share in 2023. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company alone held nearly 55 per cent of the Global Foundry Market. Its advanced manufacturing capabilities, particularly in 3nm and 5nm nodes, made TSMC the go-to choice for the majority of the tech giants like Apple, NVIDIA and AMD.
United States
The United States holds nearly 12 per cent of the market share in the advanced process manufacturing sector. The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, with its $52 billion investment, is trying to reshape the global semiconductor landscape.
South Korea
South Korea holds nearly 12 per cent of the market share as of 2023 and is expected to reach 13 per cent of the market share by 2027. With major firms such as SK Hynix leading the industry. The company's rigorous R&D puts it at the forefront of semiconductor manufacturing.
Japan
Japan has around 103 foundries, but the total manufacturing capacity is unknown. According to estimates from World Population Review, it is expected to capture 4 per cent of the total market share of the advanced processes manufacturing.
China
China has huge state sponsorship in the Semiconductor sector, with 8 per cent of the advanced processes market share and 31 per cent of the mature processes market share. Advanced Process is the manufacturing of the 16/14 nm to 3/4 nm nodes. These are the costly ones with higher processing power and proficiency.
