Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) revealed that consumer electronics demand is showing signs of aging due to geopolitical uncertainties and COVID-19 lockdowns in China.
Dalam sebuah laporan oleh Nikkei Asia, Ketua TSMC Mark Liu mengatakan bahwa perlambatan mulai muncul di bidang seperti smartphone, PC, dan TV, terutama di China. Liu juga menyebutkan bahwa biaya komponen dan material meningkat tajam, yang meningkatkan biaya produksi bagi perusahaan teknologi dan chip, yang pada akhirnya dapat dibebankan kepada konsumen.
However, despite the slowdowns, Liu said that despite the slowdowns in some areas, there will still be a robust demand in automotive applications, high-performance computing, and IoT, but also admitted that TSMC still cannot meet customers' demand given their current capacity. The company will reorganize and prioritize orders in areas with healthy demand.
Chipmakers like TSMC have been struggling to meet demands due to the global semiconductor shortage that emerged in late 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
