"As of 2009, the percentage of global semiconductor production capacity
located in the United States was 14 percent, down from 25 percent in
2005 and 17 percent in 2007. Japan has the highest share of global
capacity (at 25 percent), followed by Taiwan (18 percent, up from 11
percent in 2001), Korea (17 percent, up from 11 percent in 2001), Europe
and the Middle East (11 percent), China (9 percent, up from 2 percent in
2001) and Southeast Asia (6 percent)."
Pay especial attention to the growths in Taiwan, Korea and China.
