Foundry revenue projected to grow by 14% YoY in 3Q20 as downstream clients exhibit strong demand, says TrendForce...

Downstream foundry clients are currently exhibiting strong demand due to upcoming year-end shopping festivities in Europe and North America and the National Day long weekend and Singles' Day sales promotions in China, according to TrendForce's latest investigations. The strong momentum from downstream clients has in turn brought about a stable growth in foundries' capacities and wafer input orders, with total foundry revenue projected to growth by 14% YoY in 3Q20.

While TSMC's 3Q20 revenue benefits from 5nm mass production, GlobalFoundries posts greatest YoY decrease in the top 10

TSMC's revenue is projected to grow by 21% YoY in 3Q20, with its 7nm process technology contributing to most of the foundry's revenue performance. More specifically, TSMC is able to maintain maximum capacity utilization rate at its 7nm production lines thanks to strong demand from continued 5G infrastructure build-out and CPU/GPU demand from high-performance computing applications and WFH arrangements. TSMC will begin including revenue from its 5nm process technology into its quarterly revenue calculations in 3Q20. The foundry is currently aiming to have revenue from its 5nm process technology account for 8% of its total yearly revenue. TrendForce thus projects TSMC to derive 16% of its 3Q20 revenue from its 5nm process technology.
