Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) solidified its lead in the global pure-play wafer foundry market, achieving a 67.1% market share in Q4 2024, up from 64.7% the previous quarter, with sales reaching US$26.85 billion, a 14.1% increase fueled by strong demand for smartphones and AI applications.In contrast, Samsung Electronics experienced a decline in market share from 9.1% to 8.1%, with sales falling 1.4% to US$3.26 billion due to lost orders from existing clients. Other notable players included SMIC (5.5%), UMC (4.7%), GlobalFoundries (4.6%), and Huahong Group (2.6%), with the top 10 companies collectively generating US$38.48 billion in sales, representing 96% of the global market.
GlobalFoundries CEO Thomas Caulfield advocates for US tariffs on foreign-made chips, arguing they would increase demand for domestic semiconductors. At a Morgan Stanley investor conference, he highlighted that tariffs, alongside the $52.7 billion Chips and Science Act, could significantly enhance US chip manufacturing capabilities. As he prepares to become executive chairman, Caulfield anticipates that these measures will drive growth in the US semiconductor industry.
