The Semiconductor Construction Conundrum
In 2021, the cracks in the Semiconductor Global supply chain were exposed, and several industries and economies’ dependency on the supply of semiconductors came to the fore. In response, the semiconductor industry has reacted with the announcements of the construction of several Global Mega projects to increase the capacity of semiconductor projects. In 2021, over $130 billion will be invested by Intel, TSMC, and GlobalFoundries alone, with further billions being invested by Micron, Samsung, Infineon, and others. These investments plan to double the global capacity of semiconductors within the next five years.
