Increased chip demand will fuel steady OSAT growth ~
A surge in global demand for applications such as AI, high-performance computing , 5G, automotive, and Internet of Things has fueled semiconductor supply chain expansion, according to IDC’s upcoming Semiconductor Manufacturing Services: 2022 Worldwide OSAT Market: Vendor Ranking and Insight report.
Among the worldwide Top 10 OSAT vendors, there are six in Taiwan, three in China, and one in the US, with a total market share of 80,1%. Vendors in Taiwan include ASE, PTI, KYEC, Chipbond, ChipMOS, and Sigurd; vendors in China include JCET, TFME, and Hua Tian; and the US vendors are represented by Amkor.
In China, OSAT plants continued to expand in line with the Chinese government’s semiconductor domestication policy which, coupled with the rising sales of AMD – a major IC design manufacturer coordinated with TFME – spurred the market shares of local vendors to pick up by 1% to 26,3%.

Calls for Increased Protection by Army, Peacekeepers in DR CongoThe Cooperative for the Development of Congo, a predominantly ethnic Lendu militia, has repeatedly attacked displaced people's camps in Ituri over the past two years, according to Human Rights Watch. Militia fighters killed at least 46 civilians, half of them children, and pillaged and burned a displaced people's camp on June 12, 2023, in the DR Congo's eastern Ituri province. The militia attacked the Lala camp at night, which accomodates mostly Hema displaced people. The fighters attacked 23 children, 13 women, and 10 men, and injured 8 others. Government soldiers and UN peacekeepers deployed in the nearby town of Bule, failed to intervene. The current cycle of violence and reprisal in Ituri, which erupted in December 2017, stems from longstanding issues not addressed since the early 2000s, when tens of thousands of civilians died in massacres between 1999 and 2007. Disputes inherited from colonial-era inequities over land rights and ownership, ethnic relations, meddling by regional powers, and the control of natural resources between communities, particularly between the Hema and Lendu, were a central issue then, and continue to be. In December 2022, the UN Security Council renewed the mandate of MONUSCO, at the time stressing that "the protection of civilians shall be given priority in decisions about the use of available capacity and resources." The council directed the mission to pay "particular attention" to civilians gathered in displaced people's camps like Lala. Unlike other UN peacekeeping operations elsewhere, the mission in the Congo is also tasked with carrying out "effective targeted offensive operations, to neutralise armed groups."
