This IDC study presents the market shares of worldwide foundries and analyzes the revenue performance, process technology, capacity, and capacity utilization of major manufacturers to explore future development trends. "Foundry plays a central role in the semiconductor supply chain. The overall performance was conservative in 1H23 due to the revision of orders by IC design companies. However, semiconductor manufacturing has a long-term demand in the market. In 2H23, inventory in the supply chain will gradually decrease, foundry orders will tend to stabilize as chip orders increase for such fields as smartphone processors, AI, high-performance computing (HPC), CPU, graphics processing unit (GPU), Wi-Fi, and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Thus, better performance is expected," said Galen Zeng, senior research manager at IDC.
