Taiwan’s wafer production capacity is expected to surpass Japan’s number one globally next year

According to a market research agency IC Insights, the production capacity of Taiwanese wafer fabs has approached Japan this year, including lighting chips. It is expected that the production capacity of Taiwanese wafer fabs will surpass Japan in the next year and become the world's largest supplier of wafer fabs.

According to reports, IC Insights' latest global wafer production capacity report for 2010-2011 pointed out that Taiwan’s semiconductor industry was only recently considered to be providing after-sales packaging and testing services. However, at present, Taiwan is no longer considered to be manufacturing wafers. Only the second source.

According to statistics, the total wafer production capacity in Taiwan this year has reached 2.66 million wafers per month, approximately 8 inch wafers, approaching 2.71 million wafers with the world's largest wafer capacity. IC Insights estimates that the total wafer production capacity in Taiwan will be expected to reach 3 million units next year, which will surpass Japan's 2.78 million units and will leapfrog to the world's largest wafer production capacity.

IC Insights also expects that the total wafer production capacity in Taiwan will reach 4.08 million units in 2015, which will account for 25% of the total wafer production capacity in the world, and Japan will account for about 18% of the global wafer production capacity; Taiwan will further increase the distance between Japan and Japan. .

ICInsights stated that Taiwan has widely provided foundry services such as IC design factories, light fabs, and electronic systems factories, and as a result, the proportion of wafer production capacity in the world has continuously increased.
