In a recent episode of BBC World Service’s Business Daily, CSET Research Analyst, Hanna Dohmen, shared her extensive knowledge on the complexities of the semiconductor industry. The episode revolves around the challenges faced by the semiconductor industry, focusing on supply chain issues. Geopolitical tensions have further impacted the sector, particularly with TSMC in Taiwan producing 90% of the world’s most advanced chips. In response, countries worldwide are investing billions of dollars to diversify chip manufacturing locations, aiming to address supply chain challenges in recent years.
BBC interview with Hanna Dohmen discussing the global semiconductor manufacturing. Originally broadcast on BBC World Service’s Business Daily.
Discussing global semiconductor manufacturing, Hanna Dohmen emphasizes the importance of focusing on specific areas, stating, “Specialization is a big factor. For example, what we’re seeing in the United States is that the government is focused on bringing advanced logic manufacturing to the United States, as well as advanced packaging. And some of that will also happen or take place in the EU and other countries in Asia.” She added, “And so there, there’s a risk of duplication and wastefulness as well.”
