According to research firm iSuppli IHS, according to Japanese earthquake global electronic supply chain serious damage, may also in the rest of Asia recurs, as technology industry in some countries and regions highly concentrated.

Japan, according to the disaster occurred in a concentrated electronic manufacturing if a country or region, there may be related to high global technology industry caused significant blow. Therefore, it is necessary to consider, if other key manufacturing production intermit electronic production area, can cause what consequence. In these areas, including Taiwan, South Korea and parts of mainland China. Future global electronic industry will need to learn how to deal with various areas of potential production interruptions.

The potential impact in Taiwan

Like Japan, China and Taiwan regions in global electronic output accounting for a large proportion.

The most important is, Taiwan is engaged in global semiconductor foundry main areas, clamors for many enterprises engaged in chip foundry business, total let of global output 67%. Taiwan and Harbin industrial university factory TSMC and for all over the world, electric, semiconductor companies provide OEM services in the global chip supply chain, a prominent role. More than 150 global semiconductor design house companies use OEM service, OEM service annual revenue more than 300 billion dollars.

Taiwan in the other important global electronic supply contributions include: accounted for 24 percent of overall semiconductor; Accounted for 37% of the display driver; Small LCD panel of the 58 per cent; Accounts for 34 per cent of the LCD panel large size.
