TSMC's 2023 capital expenditure on track for US$40 billion

        TSMC's capital expenditure in 2023 is expected to reach US$40 billion in order to meet the market growth needs in the next three years.
Compared to approximately US$30 billion in 2021 and an estimated US$36 billion in 2022, US$40 billion will undoubtedly set a new high for TSMC's capital expenditure.
        In fact, as early as the start of 2022, TSMC indicated that annual capex could be significantly increased to US$40 billion to US$44 billion. And by October, TSMC said its annual capex for 2022 was expected to be US$36 billion, lower than earlier expectations.
2023 may be a special year. TSMC will officially begin production of N4 process chips in Phoenix, USA, with volume production in 2024; and the second phase of the 3nm process project is being accelerated to US soil. 
        In addition, TSMC's joint venture with Sony to build a fab will also appear in Japan soon. From the initial hesitation to build overseas fabs, TSMC has been questioned by outsiders for becoming a "US-based fab". In fact, with decades of local supply chain advantages, government support and talent cultivation, as well as greater cost advantages, TSMC has become one with the land of Taiwan, China.
        At the end of December 2022, TSMC held a 3nm mass production and expansion ceremony at its fab 18 in the Science Park in southern Taiwan Province. TSMC Chairman D.Y. Liu said at the ceremony that he would continue to cultivate Taiwan, continue to invest and co-prosper with the environment. In a recent Reuters report, TSMC said it would push ahead with the construction of a 2nm fab on the island.
        However, given the geopolitical uncertainty, spreading capacity means spreading risk. While the current demand in the semiconductor market still faces the impact of inventory levels, taking the "long view" may be the best way to meet the ever-changing market demand that continues to emerge.
