From the Factory Floor to Boardrooms and Into Financial Markets, Why Is Taiwan Powering the AI Boom Today?


Q1 Why is advanced packaging creating a bottleneck in Taiwan?
CoWoS demand from AI customers exceeds capacity. TSMC is raising output toward 130,000 wafers a month by 2026 while OSAT partners expand to close the gap.

Q2 Why are global chip strategies adjusting around Taiwan’s role?
Advanced packaging remains anchored in Taiwan, so companies are diversifying mature nodes elsewhere. Moves like UMC and Polar exploring 8 inch production in the United States strengthen resilience without replacing Taiwan’s core position.

Q3 Why are financial markets reacting to Taiwan’s semiconductor trend?
Distributors expect record revenue, including projections above one trillion NT dollars. These signals, combined with investor interest in AI exposure, reinforce Taiwan’s influence on capital flows and supply chain expectations.
