Analysts said Taiwan semiconductor production capacity will surpass the United States

According to Taiwan Chinese forecast and trends ITRI Industrial Economics Research Center, Taiwan area this year accounted for the global semiconductor production rose to 18%, for the first time will surpass the United States, ranked second in the world. Analyst Peng Guozhu said, storage and wafer foundry industry is the main cause of the expansion of the global semiconductor industry since 2000, while Taiwan and South Korea is the world's 12 inch wafer production capacity of the largest increase in the region. Analyst Peng Guozhu is expected in the fourth quarter of this year, Taiwan's 12 inch wafer production capacity is expected to grow by more than 16%, up to the size of the film in the past 2 years, there will be a quarter of 12 inches in the production capacity of more than 5 wafers increased by more than 1. This year, although Japan will remain the world's largest semiconductor production area, but the proportion will fall to 24%; as for Taiwan, Peng Guozhu expected, the global proportion is expected to climb to 18%, will be the first time beyond the United States, ranked the world's second largest area. South Korea this year, accounting for about 17% of global production capacity, with the United States will live up to third. In Taiwan, South Korea and Singapore, Chinese mainland to actively expand production this year, the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan) share of global semiconductor production will rise sharply to 47%, will make the Asia Pacific region in the global semiconductor industry grow with each passing day.
