TSMC plans to raise chipmaking prices by up to 10% from 2027, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
Market Impact
The increase is aimed at offsetting higher costs for materials, manufacturing equipment and overseas plant construction, one of the sources said. Nikkei Asia first reported the plan on Tuesday.
Base price increases will vary by customer and product, the sources said. Both mature-node production—covering 12-nm, 16-nm and 28-nm technologies—and advanced-node production under 6-nm will face increases of up to 10%.
Negotiations concluded in July and new pricing will take effect on 1 January 2027, Nikkei Asia reported.
TSMC does not comment on pricing, a company spokesperson said 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 the company would raise prices but avoid abrupt increases like those imposed by some memory firms. The chipmaker last week posted a 77% jump in second-quarter profit to T$706.6 billion, beating market expectations.
