Introduction

TSMC Statistics: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is a key company in today’s digital world. It is the world’s largest “made-to-order” chipmaker, building the advanced chips used in phones, laptops, and the powerful servers behind AI. But TSMC’s role is now bigger than technology. Chips are vital for jobs, trade, and national security, so countries and global brands want a steady supply.

That’s why TSMC is investing heavily and expanding across Asia, the United States, and Europe. As it moves to smaller, faster chip technology, TSMC is helping decide how quickly the next wave of computing will grow.
