An example of the approach is the market for ULPA filters. They are high efficiency filters. The semiconductor industry is the largest purchaser. Taiwan is one of the largest markets TSMC accounts for a large percentage of the purchases.

There are strong political factors including the possible invasion of Taiwan which need to be considered.
