Semiconductor Supply Chain Impact
Super Typhoon Ragasa brought immediate paralysis to logistics across the region. Key ports and airports were
forced to close, delaying chip shipments and creating vessel backlogs. These disruptions were compounded
by production halts, as assembly plants in Guangdong temporarily shut down and some Taiwanese facilities
experienced downtime due to flooding and unstable power.
The effects extended further into the supply chain, with flight cancellations and vessel bunching pushing
semiconductor delivery schedules well into October. Rerouted cargo and emergency air freight not only
lengthened lead times but also drove up logistics costs, placing additional pressure on manufacturers and
distributors. Above all, Ragasa underscored the industry’s vulnerability: a single storm was able to disrupt
multiple semiconductor nodes simultaneously, exposing the inherent risks of just-in-time supply chains.
