TSMC's Strategic Price Adjustment

In a move that has caught the attention of the tech industry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) is reportedly planning a substantial price hike at its United States foundries. According to a recent report by Digitimes, the increase is slated to be around 30%, a decision attributed to the higher operational costs in the US compared to Taiwan.

Impact on Major Tech Companies

This adjustment comes at a time when the tech sector is already navigating the uncertainties of US President Donald Trump's tariffs. Major technology firms, including Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp., which frequently place orders with TSMC, may now be compelled to reconsider their supply chain strategies, potentially opting to source semiconductors directly from TSMC's US-based facilities.
