SIA Applauds Finalization of CHIPS Investments for Intel Manufacturing Projects
November 29, 2024 | SIAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) today released the following statement from SIA President and CEO John Neuffer praising finalization of semiconductor manufacturing investments announced by the U.S. Department of Commerce and Intel Corporation. The incentives, which are part of the CHIPS and Science Act, will support Intel manufacturing projects in in Arizona, Ohio, Oregon, and New Mexico.
“The CHIPS Act incentives finalized today will help spur Intel’s massive investments in domestic chip production, advanced packaging, and innovation, while also strengthening America’s economy, job creation, global competitiveness, and supply chain resilience. We commend Intel for investing ambitiously in these projects and applaud the Commerce Department for advancing the critical CHIPS manufacturing incentives and R&D investments.”
The CHIPS Act is on track to strengthen American manufacturing, create jobs, boost economic growth, and promote national security. The CHIPS Act’s manufacturing incentives have sparked substantial announced investments in the U.S. In fact, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have announced 90 new projects across 28 U.S. states—totaling hundreds of billions of dollars in private investments—since the CHIPS Act was introduced. These announced projects will create more than 58,000 jobs in the semiconductor ecosystem and support hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs throughout the U.S. economy.
An SIA-Boston Consulting Group report released in May projected the United States will triple its domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity from 2022—when CHIPS was enacted—to 2032. The projected 203% growth is the largest projected percent increase in the world over that time. The report also projected America will capture over one-quarter (28%) of total global capital expenditures (capex) from 2024-2032.
The U.S. Department of Commerce previously announced incentives for a range of companies and projects that will help strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain.
