TSMC has delayed the construction of its second wafer fabrication plant in Kumamoto, Japan, due to local traffic congestion complaints linked to its first facility. The company is in discussions with the Japanese government to address these issues before proceeding, with no revised timeline provided. This delay reflects broader challenges in semiconductor manufacturing, including labor shortages and regulatory hurdles affecting global expansion efforts.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has firmly denied rumors of establishing a manufacturing facility in the UAE, with CEO C. C. Wei stating, “we won’t.” This decision aligns with TSMC's strategic focus on mitigating geopolitical risks while capitalizing on the booming demand for AI chips, which is expected to drive significant revenue growth in the coming years. The company's resilient foundry model continues to thrive amid supply chain challenges, reinforcing its dominant position in the global semiconductor market.
TSMC's CEO, C.C. Wei, reported strong demand for AI chips despite U.S. tariffs, which primarily affect importers rather than the company itself. The semiconductor industry is experiencing unprecedented growth driven by AI, with high-performance computing chip demand expected to triple in 2024. TSMC is also diversifying its manufacturing locations globally to mitigate geopolitical risks while maintaining its technological edge.

TSMC anticipates steady growth in 2025, driven by advancements in 5G, AI, and high-performance computing technologies. The company’s N2 (2nm) process is set for volume production in the latter half of 2025, while the A16 process is expected to begin mass production by the end of 2026. Advanced technologies are projected to account for up to 80% of wafer revenue in 2025, reflecting TSMC's commitment to maintaining its industry leadership through consistent capital investment.
SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won met with TSMC CEO C.C. Wei in Taiwan to discuss collaboration in the semiconductor sector, focusing on AI and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) technology. This meeting follows a strategic partnership established in April 2024 between SK hynix and TSMC aimed at enhancing HBM production and advanced packaging capabilities, crucial for AI hardware performance. As SK hynix strengthens its position in the AI memory market, competition with Samsung intensifies, with SK hynix expected to lead in next-generation HBM4 development.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has announced a significant $100 billion expansion of its operations in the United States to boost semiconductor production. This move, revealed by CEO C.C. Wei, aligns with a broader trend of Taiwanese companies increasing their investments in the US, including Foxconn's collaboration with Apple on an AI server assembly site in Texas. Other firms like Wiwynn Corp., Quanta Computer Inc., and Compal Electronics Inc. are also making substantial investments in US facilities.
TSMC has unveiled a $100 billion investment plan in the US, driven by strong demand from American customers, with production lines at new facilities fully booked through 2027. CEO C.C. Wei noted that while expanding in the US, growth in Taiwan will also continue, with 11 new production lines planned this year compared to three in the US. This expansion comes amid rising geopolitical tensions surrounding semiconductor supply chains.
