Riding the global chip boom, TSMC skyrockets with a 22.2% revenue jump in April 2025, as AI demand and tech innovation fuel record growth.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has announced a notable 22.2 per cent month-on-month (MoM) revenue surge for April 2025, as global demand for advanced semiconductors rises sharply.
The firm posted net revenue of NT$349.57 billion in April, up from NT$285.96 billion in March. Compared to April 2024, this marks a 48.1 per cent increase, reflecting sustained growth in key technology markets.
TSMC’s cumulative revenue from January to April 2025 reached NT$1,188.82 billion, an impressive 43.5 per cent rise over the same period last year. The strong performance underscores the company’s leadership in the semiconductor space, which currently holds a 67.1 per cent global market share.
This growth has widened the gap between TSMC and its closest competitor, Samsung, whose market share has fallen to just over 8 per cent.
In 2024, TSMC supported over 500 global clients and manufactured nearly 12,000 different products. These ranged across sectors including high-performance computing, smartphones, automotive technology, IoT, and digital electronics. Its production capacity exceeded 16 million 12-inch equivalent wafers last year.
Industry analysts, including Deloitte, forecast continued expansion for the semiconductor sector. Their February 2025 report predicts global chip sales could hit US$697 billion this year, driven largely by the demand for generative AI-related chips and supporting components.
Governments are taking note. India, for example, has launched a ₹760 billion initiative to boost chip manufacturing. Under the Semicon India programme, five projects—one fabrication unit and four assembly and testing plants—have been greenlit, with investments totalling ₹1.52 trillion. These are expected to be operational within four to six years.
With upward technology trends, TSMC appears well-positioned to ride the next wave of semiconductor growth.
