Semi-conductors: A Market in the Grip of Major Upheavals
Chips are not only key components in the manufacture of today’s industrial goods, they are also essential to the development of future technologies.
Decades of global industrial development and investment flows have made the semiconductor industry highly interdependent between countries in various production segments. Since 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical changes, new laws and regulations, export controls have severely disrupted supply chains and impacted the chip industry. More than ever, accurate information and in-depth analysis are key to maintaining and developing your business.
