Micron Invests $7 Billion in Singapore for Advanced AI Chip Facility

The new high-bandwidth memory packaging plant will expand Micron's manufacturing capacity, creating thousands of jobs and supporting the growing AI industry.

  • Micron Technology broke ground on Singapore's first high-bandwidth memory (HBM) advanced packaging facility, a $7 billion investment aimed at meeting rising AI-driven demand for memory chips.
  • The facility, located near Micron's existing operations in Singapore, is expected to begin operations in 2026, with significant capacity expansion planned by 2027.
  • The project will create 1,400 jobs initially, with plans to add up to 3,000 roles in areas such as packaging development, assembly, and testing over the coming years.
  • HBM technology, critical for AI applications like generative AI and GPUs, is projected to see rapid market growth, from $4 billion in 2023 to over $100 billion by 2030.
  • Micron's Singapore facility will strengthen the city-state's role in global semiconductor supply chains, complementing the company's existing operations in the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan.
