ITA reports Taiwan makes more than 90% of leading-edge chips globally.
This statistic separates Taiwan’s chip role from ordinary export strength. The leading-edge share captures the manufacturing bottleneck behind advanced AI hardware, while the foundry share shows the broader contract-chip base. The source uses threshold wording, so the graphic should read as a dominance indicator rather than a precise point estimate.
