Global Semiconductor Supply Chain Challenges: Why Resilient Sourcing Matters More Than Ever

The global semiconductor sector continues to experience turbulence, driven by geopolitical tensions, critical mineral shortages, and the lingering effects of pandemic-era disruptions. These pressures have revealed structural vulnerabilities in global supply chains, prompting governments and industries to rethink where and how essential components are produced and distributed.

In Europe, for example, the EU is ramping up efforts to secure domestic supplies of materials like gallium — a key input in advanced semiconductor production — with extraction projects such as the one recently launched in Greece. Meanwhile, the European Commission is exploring a “Chips Act 2.0” to further localize chipmaking and packaging capabilities and reduce reliance on third countries.
