Core Viewpoint - The global foundry market is witnessing a shift as leading companies like TSMC and Samsung Electronics reduce traditional processes such as 8-inch wafer production, focusing instead on advanced nodes. This presents an opportunity for Chinese foundries like SMIC and Hua Hong Semiconductor to capture market share, especially with the rising demand for power semiconductors driven by the AI industry [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - TSMC has announced plans to close its 6-inch and 8-inch wafer production lines next year, while Samsung is also expected to cut some of its 8-inch wafer capacity. TrendForce predicts a 2.4% decline in global 8-inch wafer production this year due to these reductions [1]. - Despite lower single-chip output from 8-inch processes compared to the mainstream 12-inch processes, 8-inch production is favored for small-batch, multi-variety manufacturing, making it a key focus for smaller foundries [1]. - The demand for power semiconductors, primarily produced on 8-inch lines for home appliances, automotive, and data centers, is increasing due to the growth of AI, leading to a projected price increase of 5% to 20% for older process nodes this year [1]. Group 2: Chinese Foundries' Position - Chinese foundries are emerging as alternatives for 8-inch chip production, with companies like SMIC, Hua Hong Semiconductor, and Huazhong Microelectronics providing these services. Due to surging demand, Chinese foundries have raised 8-inch chip prices by approximately 10% [2]. - Hua Hong Semiconductor's 8-inch production lines are nearing full utilization, largely due to orders from leading automotive chip manufacturers like Infineon and ON Semiconductor [2]. - Analysts note that as the U.S. imposes restrictions on advanced semiconductors in China, Chinese firms are strengthening their capabilities in older nodes, solidifying their position in the 8-inch wafer foundry market [2]. Group 3: Industry Outlook - TSMC plans to invest between $52 billion to $56 billion in capital expenditures this year to meet AI market demands, exceeding market expectations by over 20%. The company has also raised its revenue growth target for 2029 from an annual average of 20% to 25% [2]. - Samsung is accelerating the production of 3nm and below process technologies to cater to the orders from major global tech clients [2]. - Ongoing semiconductor industry conflicts between the U.S. and China may pose risks, as global automakers are hesitant to rely on Chinese foundries for semiconductor production to mitigate dependency on Chinese components [2].
