TSMC is moving to structurally rebalance its mature-node manufacturing footprint as part of a broader effort to optimize capital allocation and manufacturing efficiency.
According to Counterpoint Foundry Service’s Monthly Intelligence Report, the company is expected to reduce Fab14’s 12-inch mature-node capacity by 15%–20% by 2028. The adjustment targets chronically weak utilization at legacy nodes while freeing resources to support the expansion of advanced packaging technologies.
Counterpoint’s Foundry Market Supply Tracker data shows that utilization rates at 40–90nm nodes have remained at around 80%, with limited signs of near-term recovery. In contrast, demand for advanced packaging continues to strengthen, prompting the company to prioritize the reallocation of cleanroom space, equipment, and capital toward higher-value segments.
