In recent years, stakeholders have been riding a whirlwind, adapting from normal trading conditions to a sudden sales freeze caused by Covid-19, followed by an abrupt recovery that triggered acute component shortages in key markets, including automotive. An industry infamous for boom-and-bust volatility now faces further complications resulting from inventory overhang, rapid technological change, disruptive innovation, and market uncertainties.
The semiconductor business is no longer safe from geopolitical, security, defense, military concerns, and government regulation. While exploring opportunities emerging from sectors like AI, always-on connectivity, and increased automation, the semiconductor industry faces its own challenges.
The challenges include:
The exploding need for more computing power
The increasing complexity of chip designs and manufacturing processes
The need for significant investment in R&D and infrastructure
The prospect that CO2 emissions per logic tech node will double in 10 years – “Doing nothing is not an option.”
Increased awareness of the strategic importance of semiconductors, spurred by the Chips Act
Chips Act’s fallout (narratives such as “de-coupling” and “self-sufficiency” remain unquestioned)
Will the “global” semiconductor industry be restored again?
