Taiwan earthquake to hit some chip output, disrupt Asia supply chain: analysts

Taiwan's recent powerful earthquake is expected to have a significant impact on the semiconductor supply chain, with chipmakers such as TSMC and UMC pausing operations to inspect facilities and relocate employees. While most manufacturing plants are not close to the epicenter, some facilities have been shut down for inspections. TSMC may experience delays and increased wafer input to compensate. The disruption could affect the electronics manufacturing sector in countries like Japan, Korea, China, and Vietnam, but could also provide an opportunity for Taiwanese and Korean chipmakers to raise prices due to lower customer inventory levels.
