On September 15, 2025, China's Ministry of Commerce announced the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into imports of relevant analog integrated circuit (IC) chips originating from the United States. This regulatory action directly impacts U.S. chipmakers, including Analog Devices, Inc., which is a major producer of analog and embedded semiconductors.
The investigation creates significant uncertainty for the semiconductor industry, particularly for companies with substantial business in China. Analog and embedded semiconductors are widely used in critical sectors such as automotive and industrial industries, which are key markets for Analog Devices.
The outcome of this investigation could lead to new tariffs or trade restrictions, potentially affecting supply chain stability and demand for U.S.-made analog chips in the Chinese market. This development introduces a new layer of geopolitical risk for Analog Devices and its competitors.
