TSMC dominance shows cracks, boosting Samsung foundry opportunity

The foundry market is entering a new phase as TSMC’s grip shows signs of weakening amid advanced packaging bottlenecks, opening room for rivals. Counterpoint Research said global foundry revenue rose 16 percent last year to $320 billion on steady AI chip demand. It expects TSMC’s share to slip this year, with Samsung and SMIC moving in. Samsung is pushing 2-nanometre production, while SMIC expands capacity and Intel seeks large AI customers.
