Texas Instruments invests in U.S. chipmaking, announcing over $60 billion in spending for domestic semiconductor manufacturing. This strategic move aligns with growing political and market pressure to boost local production.
The company said the investment will fund seven facilities across Texas and Utah. Two facilities are already under construction in Sherman, Texas. This expansion could create up to 60,000 jobs, according to company projections.
Texas Instruments called this the largest investment in foundational chipmaking in U.S. history. These chips are essential to products like smartphones, vehicles, satellites, and medical devices.
Moreover, many top American companies use Texas Instruments components. Its clients include Apple, Ford, Nvidia, SpaceX, and Medtronic. As demand grows for reliable chip supply, companies like these depend on consistent domestic manufacturing.
Texas Instruments invests in U.S. chipmaking during a major political push for reshoring production. Former President Donald Trump has urged tech companies to bring manufacturing back to American soil. The company said it is actively working with the Trump administration to expand production at home.
Other major chipmakers have announced similar plans in 2025. Micron Technology pledged $200 billion toward memory and R&D efforts. Meanwhile, Apple committed $500 billion to build AI server facilities in the U.S. Additionally, Nvidia, IBM, and TSMC have all announced domestic projects this year.
This rising trend reflects strong support for local manufacturing. It also comes amid trade tensions and tariff threats. Trump previously warned Apple of tariffs on foreign-made iPhones sold in the U.S.
Texas Instruments stock ended Wednesday slightly higher, closing just above $198. Shares have gained roughly 6% so far in 2025. The market responded positively, though cautiously, to the investment news.
Texas Instruments invests in U.S. chipmaking as part of a broader industry shift. Companies are now prioritizing secure supply chains, job creation, and political cooperation. With construction underway and more facilities planned, the company is betting big on America’s tech future.
