Due to the global chip crisis, casting technologies have come to the fore more. While the undisputed leader of the sector is TSMC, Samsung is also doing successful work compared to its other competitors. This situation did not change in the last quarter of last year.
Last quarter figures in the casting industry
According to the market research prepared by TrendForce, the casting industry earned $29.5 billion in revenue in the last quarter of last year. For the last 10 quarters, the industry has been experiencing revenue growth in a row. It is striking that the rise has become stable, especially during the pandemic period.

In the fourth quarter, TSMC generated a total revenue of 15.7 billion dollars, while its market share decreased to 52.1 percent. Due to the overcrowding and shortages, the company had increased the average prices. It is stated that especially the 5nm bands make a significant contribution to the income. The 6n/7nm bands, on the other hand, showed a slight decrease. It also could not keep up with the demands. This seems to have affected the market share a little.
Although Samsung is experiencing efficiency problems in casting technologies, it has achieved a significant increase and achieved a revenue of $5.54 billion. Its market share, on the other hand, increased by one point to 18.3 percent. However, it is stated that profits have decreased in the section. It is stated that Samsung will invest in solving productivity problems this year.
The first two companies share a cake of around 70 percent in the foundry industry. Afterwards, UMC follows with a 7 percent share, and GlobalFoundries with a 6.1 percent share. Chinese SMIC, on the other hand, increased to 5.2 percent despite the embargoes. This year, bottom-line foundries such as Nexchip and Intel subsidiary Tower are expected to make significant leaps.
