US to increase ratio of advanced manufacturing capacity over the next three years: TrendForce

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Chip and Science Act” to subsidize U.S. semiconductor chip manufacturing. In this regard, market research agency TrendForce estimates that in terms of advanced process capacity below 7nm (inclusive), by 2025, Taiwan will account for about 69%, mainland China 1%, South Korea 18%, and the United States 12%.

In terms of 12-inch production capacity in various regions of the world, by 2025, Taiwan will account for about 43%, followed by mainland China with 27%, the United States with 8%, and South Korea with 12%. Compared with the pattern in 2022, it is obvious that the United States will increase the proportion of advanced process production capacity in the next three years, while mainland China will focus on mature processes.

It is understood that the bill, which has undergone multiple deletions, was eventually named the “Chip and Science Act”, which will provide about $52 billion in government subsidy funds for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and $24 billion in investment taxes for chip factories.

The credit is expected to fund 10 to 15 new semiconductor factories over the next decade. It also includes grants of more than $170 billion over five years, authorizing the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and others to increase investment in scientific research and development in key areas to promote scientific research in the United States.

In addition, TrendForce pointed out that in addition to actively cultivating domestic production lines through the chip bill, the United States frequently resorted to additional restrictions to cooperate with the Entity List ban that had been implemented for several years before the epidemic. inhibit its development.
