Geo-Economics Replaces Geopolitics as Key Power Dynamic in Global Trade
SEMICONDUCTOR
The global power dynamic is transitioning from traditional geopolitics to geo-economics, emphasizing trade, technology, and supply chains. The IMF estimates that a fragmented global trade system could cost the world economy up to 7% of GDP.
Critical industries such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence have become central to national security, with significant capacity concentrated in Taiwan and the U.S. Governments are deploying over $3 trillion in industrial policy to secure technological control, reshaping global supply chains around geopolitical considerations. This shift marks a new era where economic influence supersedes military might.
