Taiwan Quake Spares TSMC But Rattles Supply Chain Concerns

The 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck southern Taiwan on Tuesday had only a minimal impact on the operations of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world’s leading semiconductor foundry. However, the event raised renewed concerns over the supply chain impact of future potential disasters in the country.

PCBs, Potential Tariffs, and Pricing

The announced 10% U.S. tariffs for Chinese imports will increase electronic component pricing and upon the entire electronics supply chain. Consider PCBs for China accounts for more than half of the global market. The hyper growth AI data center segment is reliant on high-layer-count PCBs. China represents over a third total production. Chinese firms also enjoy upward of 60% market share for other advanced PCBs in artificial intelligence servers but for a myriad end markets. While AI gets all the attention—worldwide aerospace & defense demand for PCBs is growing markedly and electronic component sourcing in the space is in China-Zero verses China-Plus-One modes.

Component Inventories Low

The Commodity IQ Inventory Index fell to less than half of the pre-pandemic baseline across all electronic component commodities. Demand softness outside of the robust growth in the high-performance compute sector resulted in both passive and semiconductor device manufacturers reducing capacity utilization, with some passive players having moved to below 50% and semiconductor makers to between 65% and 85%. Coupled with front-loading in advance of import and export tariff expansions, component buyers are advised to be on the lookout for any significant demand increases as the market will tighten quickly.
