As global semiconductor manufacturing shifts toward Southeast Asia, the capability and automation level of PCBA equipment has become a crucial benchmark of competitiveness. In an environment challenged by labor shortages and unstable supply chains, having advanced PCBA facilities is the key to delivering quality and speed.
Malaysia’s Semiconductor Industry Faces Labor Shortages
According to industry reports, Malaysia hosts over 50 semiconductor companies, including major players such as STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments, Intel, Renesas, and more. Many of these companies operate assembly and wafer fabrication plants locally.
Malaysia is also a global hub for passive component manufacturing, with Japanese and Taiwanese giants like Murata, Toshiba, Wintek, and Huaxin Technology setting up production lines. Despite this industrial base, labor shortages are putting pressure on local semiconductor supply chains, particularly in power devices like MOSFETs, where lead times are worsening.
With Malaysia contributing to 13.5% of global semiconductor testing and packaging capacity, any further labor constraints could trigger new global supply bottlenecks.
