TSMC’s sales grew 48.1 percent in April
Foundry TSMC has maintained its sales momentum in April despite geo-political and economic certainty around the world.
Meanwhile the exposure to industrial and automotive markets at neighbouring foundry UMC has kept its sales growth in the low single-digit percentage.
TSMC, the dominant and most advanced chip manufacturer is in demand at the leading-edge from AI, and sales revenue is climbing towards 50 percent year-on-year growth. This potentially reflects some pull-forward purchasing. The second-half of the year remains an unknown; a period where tariffs on US imports could impact the global economy and hit semiconductor demand.
TSMC’s revenue in April 2025 was approximately NT$349.6 billion (about US$11.49 billion), an increase of 48.1 percent from April 2024. It was also up 22.2 percent from March 2025. For the year to date TSMC’s revenue was NT$1,188.8 billion (about US$39.1 billion), an increase of 43.5 percent compared to the same period in 2024.
UMC sales in April were NT$20.5 billion (about US$672.5 million), up 3.6 percent compared with a year before. For the first third of the year UMC’s sales were NT$78,31 (about US$2.57 billion) up 5.3 percent compared with the same period in 2024.
