It is said that TSMC's quotations for each process will increase by at least 3% on average next year

According to a report by Taiwan Economic Daily on August 25, due to factors such as inflation and rising production expansion costs at home and abroad, it is reported in the industry that TSMC's average price for each process next year will rise by 3%.

Recently, there has been a murmur in the semiconductor market, and some IC designers are looking forward to TSMC to make profits, but TSMC itself is also facing the pressure of rising production costs, supply chain mobilization, and expansion of production at home and abroad. Under the goal of ensuring a long-term gross profit margin of 53%, the industry It is believed that TSMC's average price increase of 3% for each process in 2023 is still a moderate increase.

Earlier, according to Taiwanese media "Electronic Times", industry sources revealed that the IC design company is considering renegotiating the price of future OEMs with TSMC. These IC design companies hope to reduce the increase in quotations of mature processes such as 45nm and 28nm to 3% to ease the cost pressure during the sluggish end demand. TSMC has previously determined that prices for most of its manufacturing processes will rise by about 6 percent starting in January next year, the sources said.
