According to media reports citing informed sources, Taiwan Semiconductor is in discussions with clients about plans to raise chip manufacturing prices by up to 10% in 2027, in order to cover the rising production costs caused by surging AI demand, conflicts in the Middle East, and supply chain disruptions. The increase, which will range from 5% to 10%, is set to take effect next year and will apply to both advanced and mature process chips. This move aims to address the pressures of soaring costs for materials, equipment, and electricity, and to support its accelerated expansion to meet the demand for AI chip supplies from clients such as NVIDIA and Apple
