TSMC to invest $42B in 9 new factories by 2025

Business Dec 02, 2025

TSMC, the world's top chipmaker, is making its biggest move yet—investing billions to build multiple new facilities over several years starting before and continuing through at least 2025.
This huge expansion is all about meeting the soaring demand for advanced chips used in everything from AI to smartphones.

Why does it matter?

With new factories popping up in Arizona, Japan, and Germany, TSMC isn't just growing—it's helping secure global tech supply chains and reduce risks tied to Taiwan.
Their Arizona plant ramped up to high-volume production late last year after a rocky start.
As TSMC's advanced chips now make up most of its revenue, this bold strategy keeps them ahead in tech while navigating global tensions and supply chain challenges.
