The fabless manufacturers currently have strong demand for chip foundries, and most chip foundries are already operating at full capacity. However, when the supply of automotive chips and smartphone processors exceeds demand, there is still pressure to increase production capacity.
Moreover, Strong demand for chip foundries has also boosted the performance of chip foundries. TSMC, the world’s largest chip foundry, set a new high revenue in March. The data released by TSMC on its official website, in March this year, their revenue was NT$129.127 billion, equivalent to US$4.535 billion.
In March last year, TSMC’s revenue was NT$113.52 billion. This year’s revenue was NT$129.127 billion, an increase of 15.607 billion and a year-on-year gain of 13.7%. Although the growth momentum of more than 10% year-on-year continued, the growth rate continued to slow down. It was 13.7%, compared with 22.2% in January.
On a year-on-year basis, TSMC’s revenue in February was 106.534 billion, a rise of 22.59 billion compared to March, a 21.2% increase from the previous month, and the growth resumed. TSMC’s revenue in February fell 15.9% from the previous month.
