Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) plans to increase chip production prices by up to 10%.
The new pricing structure will take effect in 2027.
These adjustments will apply to both advanced and mature manufacturing processes.
The price hikes will impact major technology firms including Apple, NVIDIA, and AMD.
Rising costs for materials, manufacturing equipment, and overseas fabrication plants built to meet global demand drive the decision.
This move signals inflationary pressure that could increase consumer electronics prices.
The price adjustments may reduce profitability across the tech sector.
