The rapid transformation of the semiconductor sector is redefining global competitiveness and supply chain resilience. This EGI report explores the impacts on global value chains and highlights how Sweden can reinforce its position and seize emerging opportunities.
Global realignment is accelerating as major economies invest to secure technological sovereignty. The United States, the EU, China, Japan and South Korea are expanding domestic manufacturing, while emerging hubs such as India and Malaysia gain ground in the value chain. This diversification is reshaping supply structures and long-term access to critical technologies.
These shifts are driving new dynamics in advanced manufacturing, AI-driven chip demand and power electronics, while exposing countries and companies to talent shortages, critical-mineral risks and heightened cybersecurity threats. Sweden’s strengths in sustainability and industrial innovation position it well to respond, but proactive engagement will be essential.
What risks and opportunities lie ahead as the semiconductor landscape evolves? Find out in this Executive Global Insight report.
