Samsung Electronics is expected to spend 28 billion dollars (about 32 trillion won) in semiconductor-related investment this year. It is the largest investment scale among global semiconductor companies.
On the 17th (U.S. local time), market researcher IC Insights predicted that Samsung Electronics will invest 28 billion dollars in semiconductor investment this year, more than TSMC (27.5 billion dollars), which is the No. 1 foundry market.
“Samsung is maintaining a tremendous amount of investment, including $21.6 billion in 2017-2018, $19.3 billion in 2019, and $28.1 billion in 2020, and is expected to make the same level of investment this year,” said IC Insights. In January, we announced that we would invest up to $25 to 28 billion dollars, and most of the investment will be used to secure additional capacity for 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer technologies, which are currently in very strong demand.”
In addition, “Samsung Electronics and TSMC’s semiconductor investment this year is expected to record $55 billion, which is 43% of the total investment in the global semiconductor industry. These investments will widen the gap with competitors in advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology.”
