TSMC will delight customers with another price hike of several percent

While Taiwanese media in the midst of the pandemic mentioned TSMC's intentions to raise prices for its services several times a quarter, Japanese publication Nikkei Asian Review claims that a major price increase took place last August and was measured at 20%.
The next noticeable jump in the cost of the company's services is scheduled for early next year, it will be measured at 5-8%.TSMCSpecifically, the price of TSMC services for the production of components using a wide range of lithographic technologies - from mature to the most modern.
If in the latter case customers will easily enough swallow such an increase, then for the recipients of TSMC products manufactured using mature technologies, the new price increase may be critical.
It should be taken into account that demand for smartphones and PCs this year is at risk of decreasing, and some of TSMC customers simply will not be able to painlessly bear the increased costs on the wallets of end buyers.
