Big trouble from Taiwan, Tsmc raises chip prices by up to 20%

by admin

Microchips not only unavailable, but also increasingly expensive. The world‘s largest manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (Tsmc, with 31% market share globally) would be planning price increases around 10% for more advanced semiconductors and around 20% for less sophisticated ones. used in the automotive sector. This was reported by sources in the Wall Street Journal. The increases should also be applied to large customers (one of the largest is Apple) towards the end of the year or from 2022. The Taiwanese company, with a letter sent in March by CEO CC Wei, has already communicated to customers that it will no longer offer discounts even on major orders, as it had to endure a sharp rise in the cost of raw materials. It also needs to fund a $ 100 billion three-year investment plan that aims to expand production, in the face of current shortages, and develop more powerful chips.
