The world’s top 10 wafer foundries achieved a record combined revenue of $53.49 billion in Q2 2026, driven by shortages in advanced-process capacity for AI and HPC chips and increased demand across various segments. TSMC dominated with a 72.5% market share, while SMIC notably narrowed its gap with Samsung.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
This surge in foundry revenues signals rising capacity constraints and demand for advanced AI-related chips, pushing you to explore supply chain resilience and edge over competitors in semiconductor sourcing. The widening share gap between TSMC and others means you must pick partners carefully to avoid bottlenecks and capitalise on early tech adoption.
