        According to the "2022 Global Wafer Capacity Report" by research firm Knometa Research, 57% of the global wafer capacity in 2021 will be contracted by the top five companies (Samsung, TSMC, Micron, SK Hynix, Kioxia/Western Digital), which means The industry's "top-heavy" competitive landscape has further deepened.

        According to Semiconductor Digest, the report shows that the five companies  have a combined monthly production capacity of 12.2 million wafers in 2021, a 10% increase from the previous year and a growth rate that is one percentage point higher than the industry's total capacity.
Among them, Samsung ranks first with an average monthly output of 4.05 million wafers, accounting for 19% of the global market. TSMC ranks second with an average monthly output of 2.8 million pieces in 2021, accounting for 13% of the global market. Samsung has increased capital spending by 45% in 2020, with most of the funds going to building multiple 12-inch wafer production lines at its Pyeongtaek fab.
TSMC's relatively modest capacity growth in 2021, but strong demand for its services spurred a significant increase in capex during the year, which should lead to higher capacity growth in 2022. TSMC also plans to maintain aggressive spending in 2022 and 2023.
The third to fifth places are Micron, SK Hynix, and Kioxia/Western Digital. Among them, SK Hynix and Kioxia/Western Digital experienced a market decline.
