Semiconductors are electronic materials and devices that control the flow of current and process information; they are found in phones, servers, automobiles, sensors, and industrial equipment. Manufacturing chips involves highly specialized facilities called fabs, advanced lithographic processes, and a complex global supply chain that ranges from design to packaging and testing.
The president said he plans to impose 100 percent tariffs on chips manufactured abroad, but the largest producers could circumvent that measure through relabeling, local assembly, bilateral exemptions, or supply chain changes. That measure could make components more expensive, accelerate the relocation of factories, and generate international trade and legal tensions.
Potential consequences include higher prices for consumers and businesses, disruptions in the availability of components for critical sectors such as automotive and telecommunications, and pressure on artificial intelligence projects and data centers that depend on high-performance chips. Furthermore, 100 percent tariffs could trigger retaliation and a more fragmented market, affecting innovation and long-term investment.
In such a scenario, companies need to accelerate their digital transformation to mitigate risks.
