South Korea's SK hynix has reportedly been advancing a plan to build a memory semiconductor production facility, or fab, in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The investment could amount to more than ¥10 trillion, and pressure from the United States is expected to influence future investment decisions.
South Korean memory chip giant SK hynix is reportedly considering building a fab in Miyagi Prefecture as part of plans to establish a local production base in Japan, with an investment of tens of trillions of won.
According to reports, this would be the first major investment by a Korean company aimed at establishing a local production base in Japan.
As the investment in Japan takes concrete shape, pressure from the United States is expected to intensify, making decisions over future investment destinations more complex, according to the reports.
Market attention is likely to focus on developments among memory-related companies.
