Industry size of semiconductor materials in Taiwan 2012-2023
Published by
In 2023, the size of the semiconductor material market in Taiwan reached over 19 billion U.S. dollars. Precursory materials for semiconductors are silicon, germanium, and gallium. These materials are relatively cheap and easy to come by, which makes computer chips very affordable. For instance, the United States Geological Survey classifies silicon as an abundant material because, together with oxygen, aluminum, and iron makes up around 90 percent of the earth's crust.
