TSMC to Increase Prices in the US

According to a recent report by Digitimes, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) is preparing to implement a significant price increase at its United States foundries. This move comes as a direct response to the higher operational costs experienced in the US compared to Taiwan.

Impact of US Tariffs and Demand

The uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump's tariffs has led to a shift in how customers are ordering semiconductors. Many are now opting to place orders directly with TSMC's factories located in the US. Among the notable companies affected by this change are tech giants Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp., both of which regularly place orders with TSMC.
