The semiconductor industry is the core of electronic products. For instance, mobile phones, computers, medical equipment all rely on semiconductors. Although Taiwan and South Korea often appear in the news about semiconductor industry, in fact, the Philippines’ semiconductor industry is also very important in the global supply chain. With skilled workers, a superior geographical location and low production costs, many global semiconductor and electronics companies have set up factories in the Philippines.

  

In this article, I will introduce you to several top semiconductor companies in the Philippines that are very powerful, and show you how they drive technological innovation and manufacturing development to become the backbone of the semiconductor industry.

  

What Is a Semiconductor Company?

A semiconductor is a material that lies between a conductor (conductive) and an insulator (non-conductive), and its conductivity can be controlled. This characteristic makes semiconductors the most important basic material in electronic products.

The so-called semiconductor company is a company that specializes in the production of semiconductor components. They are responsible for designing, manufacturing, packaging, and testing these small electronic components. Some semiconductor companies focus on design, such as only being responsible for drawing circuit diagrams of chips; Some semiconductor companies are only responsible for manufacturing; And some semiconductor companies only do back-end packaging and testing. Of course, there are also some large enterprises that can complete everything from design to production and testing by themselves.

The Rise of the Philippine Semiconductor Industry

Over the past few decades, the semiconductor industry in the Philippines has developed very rapidly and has now become an important source of the country's export earnings. It is part of the broader electronics industry, with electronic products accounting for more than 50% of the Philippines' exports.

This development has achieved its current status mainly due to several advantages: The Philippines has a large number of skilled workers, its geographical location is close to major Asian markets, the business environment is stable, and the government also provides tax incentives and infrastructure support.

Many semiconductor companies in the Philippines are actually subsidiaries of major global companies, specializing in the packaging and testing of chips. Nowadays, more and more international enterprises are also building factories in the Philippines. This not only brings more job opportunities but also helps local technological progress. Today, the Philippines has become one of the largest semiconductor exporters in Southeast Asia.
