TSMC's Slowest Growth in 18 Months Hints at Chip Industry Shift
10 Nov
Summary
- TSMC reports record monthly revenue in October 2025
- 17% annual growth is slowest pace since February 2024
- Signals potential slowdown in semiconductor industry
As of November 10, 2025, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, has just reported its highest-ever monthly revenue. In October 2025, TSMC recorded revenue of 367.47 billion New Taiwan dollars ($11.86 billion), a new monthly record for the Taiwanese company.
However, the 17% growth from the same month last year is the slowest pace of annual growth TSMC has registered since February 2024. This slowdown in the company's expansion rate suggests a potential shift in the semiconductor industry, which has been experiencing a prolonged period of robust demand and supply chain challenges.
Despite the record-breaking revenue, TSMC's slowing growth rate could signal that the chip shortage that has plagued the global electronics market may be starting to ease. This could have broader implications for technology companies and consumers alike, as the availability and pricing of semiconductors are crucial factors in the production and affordability of a wide range of electronic devices.
