Foxconn and FII aggressively invest in semiconductor firms to secure supplies, preparing for future demand

Foxconn Technology Group, Taiwan’s largest electronic manufacturing service (EMS) provider, and its subsidiary Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII), have been aggressively investing in semiconductor-related companies lately. Their move to secure supplies for chips used for electrical vehicles (EVs) as well as the acquisition of a 6-inch wafer plant from Macronix and transform it into SiC foundry, is going against the flow of the capital markets, which are speculating an over-supply scenario amid foundry capacity buildup in the next few years.
