## PCB Shipments from Taiwan to the US: An Overview Direct shipments of printed circuit boards (PCBs) from Taiwan to the United States continue to be limited, according to DIGITIMES. This suggests that despite the strong demand for electronic components in the United States, Taiwanese manufacturers may prefer alternative distribution channels or face logistical limitations. ## Market Implications The situation may reflect a broader trend of supply chain diversification, with companies seeking to reduce reliance on a single supplier or region. Geopolitical tensions and disruptions caused by the pandemic have accelerated this trend, prompting companies to reconsider their sourcing strategies. For US companies, this may mean the need to develop relationships with alternative suppliers or invest in domestic PCB production.
