Costa Rica’s Expanding Role in the Global Semiconductor Supply Chain

By Michael Stratton

Costa Rica is positioning itself as an important player in the global semiconductor supply chain, particularly in assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP) processes. With 13 companies already involved, the country is becoming a strategic partner for the U.S. as it seeks to diversify its semiconductor production away from Asia. Costa Rica’s political stability, skilled workforce, and proximity to the U.S. make it an attractive hub for semiconductor manufacturing.

Costa Rica’s role has grown in part due to the U.S. CHIPS Act, aimed at boosting domestic chip production while strengthening ties with countries like Costa Rica to secure critical components. As global demand for semiconductors continues to rise, Costa Rica’s contribution will likely expand, solidifying its place in the supply chain.

For companies aiming to navigate these developments, Partstat offers critical inventory management solutions. As Costa Rica grows its semiconductor sector, Partstat’s Inventory Ownership Program can help companies secure crucial components by managing inventory more effectively. This ensures that businesses maintain a resilient supply chain and stay ahead of market disruptions.

By leveraging Costa Rica’s evolving role in semiconductor manufacturing and pairing it with Partstat’s services, companies can mitigate risks and optimize their sourcing strategies. Costa Rica’s growing influence in the semiconductor sector represents a significant opportunity for businesses to diversify their production and procurement strategies, helping to meet global demand in an increasingly interconnected market.
