ACCESS THE LANDSCAPE REPORT











    ABOUT THE REPORT

    The Singapore Semiconductor Landscape Report presents a timely view of Singapore’s semiconductor industry, identifying 13 growth opportunities shaped by structural shifts in global and regional demand. As the region accelerates front-end and back-end manufacturing, Singapore is well-positioned to serve as both a key advanced manufacturing hub and springboard for regionalisation.

    The report outlines how segments such as AI-enabled manufacturing, robotics, advanced materials, and 3D printing are expected to see faster growth in Southeast Asia than globally. This opens a window of opportunity for Singapore-based SMEs, particularly those already supporting advanced fabs and A&T operations.

    The report also underscores the value of building niche capabilities—ranging from cleanroom services to automation and critical spares—that can enhance supply chain resilience. Singapore’s public and private sector investments in areas such as advanced packaging and silicon photonics are beginning to take shape, with new infrastructure like A*STAR’s National Semiconductor Translation and Innovation Centre (NSTIC) driving local innovation.

    Backed by ecosystem-wide insights, this study offers companies a strategic lens to assess opportunity alignment and prioritise investments. SSIA invites companies to explore how they can collaborate across the value chain and take forward actionable steps for growth, capability-building, and regional expansion.

    Strategic Imperatives for Singapore

    To stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape, companies should focus on three key imperatives that will shape Singapore’s next phase of growth in the sector:

    Scale Capabilities for Supply Chain Resiliency

    A resilient semiconductor supply chain requires strategic localisation. There is a need for deeper local capabilities in materials, precision components, spares and refurbishment solutions. While Singapore may not be able to localise all parts of the supply chain, we can play a critical role in developing niche capabilities to build resilience into the Singapore semiconductor ecosystem.

    Innovate for Growth

    Frontier areas such as silicon photonics, quantum technologies and advanced packaging present compelling opportunities for companies to partake in high-value, IP-intensive segments of the global value chain. To capture this early-mover advantage, companies need to critically assess where their existing capabilities and adjacent strengths can align with emerging growth areas

    Strengthen Position as a Trusted, Regional Hub

    Companies with an existing footprint in Singapore are well-placed to position itself as a strategic hub for regional supply chain partnerships, talent development, and innovation. Leveraging Singapore’s mature business environment and strong regional connectivity, companies can coordinate supply chain activities and lead joint innovation efforts across the region e.g. within Southeast Asia. This enables companies to scale their role beyond operational roles and drive higher-value activities across the region.
