Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s global chip supply will fall short of AI-fueled demand for years to come.

TSMC's chip supply will not meet global AI-fueled demand for several years, according to CEO C.C. Wei.

KEY POINTS
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s global chip supply will fall short of AI-fueled demand for years to come, chief executive officer C.C. Wei said, suggesting production capacity remains a key bottleneck in the buildout of global computing infrastructure. TSMC won’t be able to fulfill demand led by American customers even as more manufacturing capacity comes online in the U.S. over the next few years, Wei told shareholders on Thursday. Still, Taiwan’s largest company — which makes the majority of the world’s advanced semiconductors for AI — will refrain from initiating the sort of abrupt price hikes that shook up the memory chip sector, Wei added. TSMC’s intent is to ensure a stable business, he said at an annual shareholders’ meeting in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Wei reiterated a forecast for sales growth of more than 30% for this year — an outlook TSMC raised just weeks ago. Asia’s largest company is an essential player in the global AI industry, making cutting-edge semiconductors for the likes of Nvidia and AMD. TSMC has been expanding its footprint beyond its home island to add capacity, yet even that isn’t enough to satisfy all needs with major hyperscalers set to spend $725 billion on AI this year alone.
