TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) is asking its suppliers to cut prices next year in order to boost profitability.

According to DigiTimes, TSMC is in discussions with its equipment and material suppliers on having them reduce their prices by 15% for 2022 in a bid to cut costs. The move could also help domestic suppliers, according to CNA.

Domestic suppliers have always offered lower prices than foreign companies, while at the same time TSMC, has been committed to increasing its proportion of locally procured materials and equipment. TSMC's move to lower prices could create more opportunities for Taiwanese suppliers, CNA said.
