Malaysia’s semiconductor sector to benefit from ‘neutrality’ amid US-China tech war
Malaysia's semiconductor industry is poised to benefit from the ongoing US-China tech war, as companies seek alternative locations in the global chip supply chain due to increasing trade restrictions. Experts suggest that Malaysia's neutral stance and existing strengths in back-end operations like chip testing and packaging make it an attractive option for businesses looking to serve both the US and Chinese markets.
The US government's tightening trade restrictions on China are creating opportunities for Malaysia to further develop its semiconductor sector. This assessment aligns with Malaysia's recent efforts to bolster its semiconductor industry, including the launch of the National Semiconductor Strategy backed by RM25 billion (US$5.6 billion) in funding, with the aim of transforming the country into a semiconductor powerhouse over the next decade.
