According to TrendForce Jibang Consulting's latest foundry industry research, the total quarterly output value of the world's top ten foundries increased by 11.5% in the second quarter of 2026, to close to US$53.49 billion, reaching a new high. In addition to the continued shortage of advanced manufacturing processes such as AI HPC main chips, growth momentum is increasing simultaneously in demand for AI peripheral ICs such as PMIC/Power Discrete. Coupled with the continuing early stocking effect in consumer supply chains such as televisions, PCs/notebooks, etc., the production capacity of some mature processes is becoming tighter.
