Supply Chain Security
Build and Maintain Semiconductor Supply Chain Resilience
Dependence on unreliable supply chain partners undermines the leadership and competitive advantage of the U.S. semiconductor industry. Promoting U.S. investment and working with allies and likeminded governments is essential to strengthening trusted semiconductor supply chains, in both upstream semiconductor materials and downstream markets, and supporting semiconductor industry operations in the U.S.

Policy Priorities
Build resilient, diverse, and secure semiconductor supply chains
The government should work with supply chain partners and likeminded governments to build global supply chain capabilities that complement and support semiconductor industry operations in the U.S., including diverse and secure sourcing alternatives both for upstream semiconductor materials, like critical minerals and specialized chemicals, and for downstream markets, like automotive, industrial, and electronics.
Ensure U.S. companies receive non-discriminatory treatment
The government should ensure U.S.-headquartered companies enjoy nondiscriminatory access to semiconductor incentive programs offered by governments in foreign markets and align U.S. incentive programs to attract investment from allies and partners.
Pursue policies and trade deals that create demand for Made-in-America chips
To justify long-term capital-intensive investments in U.S. semiconductor production, chipmakers need confidence their products will have access to global markets. The U.S. government should negotiate reciprocal trade and other economic deals with partners and allies that facilitate increased sales of U.S. semiconductors globally, create preferential markets for our chips and downstream electronics products, encourage investments by global semiconductor firms here in America, and incentivize the creation of trusted supply chains. Governments should also build on existing bilateral and plurilateral trade platforms with a view to strengthen trusted semiconductor supply chains and reduce America’s and its allies’ dependence on less reliable trade partners.
Emerging Resilience in the Semiconductor Supply Chain
A 2024 report by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and the Boston Consulting Group on the semiconductor supply chain forecasts significant improvements in the resilience of the supply chain in both the U.S. and globally in coming years. The study shows investments from the industry, facilitated by incentives under the CHIPS Act, are making progress in growing domestic semiconductor manufacturing and strengthening the U.S. economy. Among other things, the report finds U.S. fab capacity is projected to increase by 203% by 2032, a tripling of U.S. capacity. The U.S. is also projected to increase its share of global fab capacity for the first time in decades, growing from 10% today to 14% by 2032.
Despite this substantial progress, areas of vulnerability in the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem remain, and additional work is needed to maintain this momentum and secure key areas of the chip supply chain.
