Manila, Philippines, October 12, 2026 – Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world's largest express transportation companies, released findings from a new report developed in collaboration with Frost & Sullivan examining the evolving semiconductor ecosystem across Asia Pacific (APAC). The report finds that growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing, electric vehicles (EVs), and advanced communications technologies is accelerating semiconductor production and driving investment in the digital infrastructure that powers the AI economy. These trends are creating increasingly complex regional and global supply chains that depend on speed, visibility, and resilience. For the Philippines, the shift presents an opportunity to build on the country's established position in the global semiconductor supply chain as an important hub for assembly, packaging and testing, supported by a skilled workforce and an established ecosystem of global manufacturers and local suppliers. The report, From AI to EVs: How APAC Semiconductors Drive the Global Innovation Map , highlights how APAC has become the center of the global semiconductor ecosystem, accounting for approximately 58% of global semiconductor industry revenue. As industries increasingly rely on advanced chips to power AI applications, data centers, connected devices, and next-generation...
