AI packaging demand exposes supply-chain gaps for Taiwan materials makers

What happened

ASE Vice President Hiro Huang stated that suppliers are meeting less than half of overall demand, with capacity for the next three years largely booked. This highlights the pressure on Taiwan's materials makers to accelerate R&D and local production amidst deepening AI demand for advanced packaging. Bullish: Supply-chain gaps and capacity constraints signal potential price increases and tight supply for packaging materials.
