semiconductor industry
Microchip manufacturing sector
The semiconductor industry encompasses companies that design, manufacture, and sell chips—the tiny integrated circuits that power electronic devices from smartphones to cars to data centers.
This sector is characterized by enormous capital requirements, complex global supply chains, and rapid technological advancement driven by Moore's Law.
The semiconductor industry has become central to geopolitical tensions between major powers.
A few dominant players control key segments, particularly in advanced chip fabrication.
