TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, plans to raise chipmaking prices by up to 10% from 2027. The price increase aims to offset rising costs for materials, manufacturing equipment, and overseas expansion.

The price increase by TSMC may have implications for Malaysia's electronics industry, which relies heavily on imported chips and semiconductor components.
