This milestone marks the initial step towards the goal of exporting FPT-designed chips to the Asia-Pacific market over the next three years.

Commenting on this milestone, Tran Dang Hoa, chairman of FPT Semiconductor, FPT Corporation, said, “Exporting our first commercial chip shipment to Japan is not only a significant milestone for FPT, but also a strong affirmation of Vietnamese capabilities in core technologies.

We expect that, starting from this initial shipment, Vietnamese-designed chips will increasingly be used in consumer electronics, office equipment, the Internet of Things devices, and industrial applications.

We believe this achievement will help position Vietnam as an emerging destination on the global semiconductor map and open new opportunities for Vietnamese companies to participate more deeply in the global high-tech value chain.”

This shipment comes at a time when the global power ICs market is projected to reach approximately $59 billion by 2030, while the Japanese market alone is expected to approach $3 billion over the same period.

Demand for power chips continues to grow across multiple sectors, including consumer electronics, industrial equipment, automotive, and high-tech applications.

From a global perspective, recent disruptions in the semiconductor supply chain, most notably regulatory and geopolitical interventions affecting Nexperia’s operations, have underscored the growing need for supply diversification and the search for reliable alternative sources.

In this context, FPT is introducing a range of protection devices such as ESD and Zener diodes, commonly referred to as discrete power devices, with the expectation of serving as a complementary or alternative supply option in the Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese markets.
