After the United States, Taiwan’s TSMC is the world’s leading semiconductor contract manufacturer, meaning the company manufactures chips designed by other companies.
Taiwan-based TSMC has become a trillion-dollar company by the end of 2024 as it leads many companies in developing cutting-edge chips for AI, 5G, and EVs.
