The global foundry market grew 29% year-on-year in Q2 2026, driven by rising demand for AI semiconductors. TSMC solidified its lead with a 73% market share, benefiting from advanced 2nm and 3nm process production while Samsung Electronics held steady at 7%.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The semiconductor foundry market is consolidating around TSMC’s advanced nodes, signalling a narrow window for new players to compete in AI chip manufacturing. If you build foundry capacity, shifting focus to advanced 2nm and 3nm processes is now essential.
