According to industry insiders, IC design companies in Taiwan in China are negotiating with their customers' further price increase in chip products to reflect the rise of manufacturing costs, but found that they are, especially laptops and flat panel displays (FPD) customers. Willing to accept higher prices.

Digitimes reported that the industry said that the TSMC program increased more than 20% of the prices of maturity and advanced process technology, which prompted the free-free round factory chip company to negotiate higher prices.

"As TSMC will start raising prices in the fourth quarter of this year, the unstopporary circle chip is intended to pass the cost of rising costs to equipment suppliers and assemblies, but found that suppliers in the fields of notebooks, TV and FPD are higher. The quotation is getting more difficult. "The industry has added it.

Taking the laptop as an example, after the strong growth in the first half of the year, sales in the second half of 2021 began to slow down, and the news about equipment assemblies and suppliers slowed on the chip procurement. In addition, Taiwan analog IC experts said that TV sales have recently begun, which hinders relevant groups and brand suppliers with a higher price reserve chip.

Industry insiders pointed out that Many Taiwan IC design companies have realized limited space for further gross profit margins this year. The manufacturing cost is rising, and the recent demand is frustrated, and it will make a challenge to IC design companies that wish to maintain profitability.
