Asia’s technology industry is entering a new phase of growth and self-reliance as major players in the region take bold steps to strengthen their roles in the global supply chain. From chip design to manufacturing infrastructure, leading companies are investing heavily to secure Asia’s position as a global tech powerhouse.

Huawei is investing in chipmaking chemicals to reduce reliance on external suppliers, reinforcing its push toward semiconductor independence. At the same time, Xiaomi is designing its own smartphone chips, joining other global manufacturers in seeking greater control over hardware innovation.


Meanwhile, Foxconn is building a state-of-the-art display plant near Chennai, India, to directly support Apple’s growing operations in the region. This expansion reflects a broader trend of supply-chain diversification away from China, with India becoming a key hub for global electronics production.


Industry analysts believe these moves underscore a regional transformation. As geopolitical uncertainties push companies to localize supply chains, Asia’s tech giants are showing resilience, adaptability, and ambition to lead the next wave of global innovation.


With such investments, Asia is not only supporting global brands but also building its own ecosystem of advanced technology development—from chips to consumer devices—solidifying its role as a critical player in the future of tech.
