Foundry Companies’ Share by Revenue, Q1 2024
In Q1 2024, the foundry industry demonstrated mixed results with some notable shifts in market dynamics. TSMC exceeded market expectations, driven by strong AI accelerator demand. The company has raised its forecast for data center AI revenue, projecting it to double YoY in 2024, while expecting a 50% CAGR in AI revenue through 2028. Despite an expanding CoWoS capacity, it remains insufficient to meet the surging AI demand. Samsung Foundry maintained its second position, though its revenue declined due to smartphone seasonality. SMIC secured the third spot for the first time, benefiting from China’s demand recovery. Both UMC and GlobalFoundries saw consumer and smartphone demand bottoming out, with a muted outlook for auto demand in the near term. The industry started seeing signs of demand recovery, with normalized and leaner channel inventory indicating that strong AI demand and a mild recovery in the end demand could drive growth in 2024.
Foundry Industry Share by Technology Node, Q1 2024
In Q1 2024, the foundry industry’s revenue share by technology node revealed significant shifts influenced by varying demand across sectors. The 5/4nm nodes dominated with a 26% market share, driven by strong AI demand. In contrast, the 3nm node experienced the most notable drop, falling from third to fifth place with a 6% market share, primarily due to the off-season effects of iPhone production. The 7/6nm, 28/22nm and 16/14/12nm nodes also saw reductions in their proportions at 12%, 8% and 7% respectively, mainly attributed to seasonal downturns in the smartphone and PC markets. These trends underscore the current dynamics in the foundry industry, where advanced nodes benefit from AI-driven growth, while traditional nodes face challenges from cyclical consumer electronics demand.

Foundry Companies’ Share by Revenue, Q4 2023
In Q4 2023, TSMC maintained its dominant position in the foundry sector, commanding a formidable 61% market share driven by smartphone restocking and strong demand from AI. Samsung Foundry retained its status as the second-largest player with a 14% market share, benefiting from smartphone restocking and positive initial pre-orders for the Samsung S24 series. GlobalFoundries and UMC both captured a 6% market share. However, subdued demand and customer inventory adjustments, particularly in automotive and industrial applications, impacted the 2024 guidance for both companies. SMIC held a 5% share and anticipates increased demand for smartphone-related components in the short term. Despite this, a cautious outlook prevails for the full year due to uncertainties in demand sustainability, echoing muted sentiments across mature node foundries.
Foundry Industry Share by Technology Node, Q4 2023
In Q4 2023, the 5/4nm node captured the top position with a 26% market share driven by strong demand for AI applications. Following closely behind was the 7/6nm node, representing 13% of the market, fueled by low-mid-end smartphone restocking demand. The 3nm node, with a 9% market share, experienced growth driven by the ramp-up of the iPhone 15. Both the 28/22nm and 16/14/12nm nodes also held a 9% market share each. The former benefited from the resurgence in smartphone restocking, particularly for AMOLED DDIC components.
