Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs Confirms $20 Billion in Additional Investment in the U.S.

ChainCatcher report: Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs has confirmed that Taiwanese companies are adding $20 billion in investments in the United States. Minister of Economic Affairs Kung Ming-hsin stated that, in response to growing order demand, production capacity will be expanded in the U.S. alongside Taiwan’s primary manufacturing bases, primarily involving semiconductor companies, supply chain partners, and AI server manufacturers. Previously, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Lutnick indicated that Taiwan would announce $20 to $30 billion in investments in the U.S. next week. The Ministry responded that this investment corresponds to the $20 billion in additional U.S. investments announced by Minister Kung on the 2nd during the opening of the U.S. Pavilion at SEMICON TAIWAN 2026. Kung noted that global demand for AI and semiconductors remains robust, with the SEMI Global President raising the forecast for global semiconductor revenue by 2030 from $1 trillion to $2 trillion. According to the Ministry’s assessment, as of May this year, 20 semiconductor and AI server-related companies had already announced $35 billion in U.S. investments, followed by an additional $20 billion in subsequent months. Future collaboration will also extend to industries such as biotechnology and natural gas.
