Southeast Asia needs to expand semiconductor production, global trade group SEMI says

SEMI said Southeast Asian countries should build more semiconductor fabrication plants over the next decade to diversify the sector and reduce supply risks. The message is strategic rather than event-driven, pointing to longer-term supply chain resilience in a key emerging-market manufacturing hub. No specific companies, investment amounts, or policy changes were announced.
