Largest Earthquake in Taiwan since 1999
A powerful 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan's eastern coast near Hualien County, causing nine deaths and injuring 800. This event, the most severe since 1999, poses significant disruptions to the global technology sector by impacting the Asian semiconductor supply chain. Major chipmakers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), UMC, Vanguard International Semiconductor, and Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing have suspended some production for safety inspections and employee relocations. Despite the epicenter being distant from the key manufacturing sites, precautionary measures included evacuating and shutting down facilities, especially affecting TSMC's operations in Hsinchu, Tainan, and Taichung. TSMC experienced temporary suspensions in its advanced process nodes and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment usage, expected to delay shipments and add production pressure. Analysts predict challenges in restoring production and maintaining quality, with potential increased pricing pressure within the sector. This disruption may lead to a halt in electronics manufacturing globally, affecting economies such as Japan, Korea, China, and Vietnam.
