Body: July 21 (Reuters) - TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, plans to raise chipmaking prices by up to 10% from ‌2027, two sources familiar with the matter said late on ‌Tuesday.

Nikkei Asia first reported the price increase plan on Tuesday.

• The base price increases up to 10%, depending on the customer and product, according to the ‌sources.

• Mature-node production, covering ⁠12-nanometre, 16-nm and 28-nm technologies, faces increases of up to 10%, the sources said.

• Advanced node production, ⁠under 6-nm, also faces increases of up to 10%, one of the sources said.

• Negotiations began in June and concluded in July, with ​new pricing ​set to take effect at the ​start of 2027, Nikkei Asia ‌reported.

• TSMC does not comment on pricing, a company spokesperson said when contacted by Reuters on Tuesday.

• "Our pricing strategy is strategic, not opportunistic. We will continue to work closely with customers and sell our value to them," the spokesperson said.

• TSMC CEO C.C. Wei ‌said in June that he would ​like to hike prices, adding that the ​company would refrain from ​abrupt price hikes that some memory firms have imposed.

• ‌Last week, TSMC, widely regarded ​as a bellwether ​for AI chip demand, surpassed market expectations to post a 77% jump in second-quarter profit, touching a record high of T$706.6 ​billion ($22 billion).
