Overview
TrendForce indicates that foundry capacity utilization in 1Q25 is exceeding expectations due to geopolitical risks and Chinese subsidies. Despite weak end-market demand for consumer electronics, the supply chain is stockpiling to mitigate potential tariffs and capitalize on Chinese subsidies, leading to increased utilization rates for mature nodes at Tier-2 foundries. This early stockpiling, however, may reduce future demand, potentially slowing capacity utilization growth in 2H25.
