TSMC to Increase US Foundry Prices by 30%

In a move that has caught the attention of the tech industry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) is reportedly set to implement a substantial price hike at its United States foundries. According to a report by Digitimes on Wednesday, the increase is attributed to the higher operational costs in the US compared to Taiwan.

Impact on Major Tech Companies

This price adjustment could have significant implications for major tech firms such as Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp., which regularly place orders with TSMC. The uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump's tariffs may also be influencing customers to order semiconductors directly from TSMC's US-based factories.
