➀ The global wafer foundry industry is expected to grow by 20% this year, driven by the surge in demand for advanced semiconductor processes due to the AI boom.

➁ TSMC, the leading wafer foundry company, is expected to outperform the industry average growth rate.

➂ TSMC's stock price rebounded and reached over 28 trillion New Taiwan Dollars, with revenue growth projected to be between 24% and 26% in 2025.

➃ The global semiconductor revenue is forecasted to grow by 13.4% this year, reaching a peak of $714 billion.

➄ AI applications are driving the demand for AI/HPC chips and storage, with high bandwidth memory (HBM) demand particularly strong.

➅ Despite the growth potential, geopolitical and trade tariff factors may pose negative impacts on the semiconductor industry.

➀ Marvell, a major US network and optical communication company, has announced a price increase for all its product lines starting from January 1, 2025, in response to the surge in AI demand.

➁ The move is seen as an opportunity to capture market opportunities and continue investing in R&D of cutting-edge and innovative products.

➂ Marvell's strong financial performance in the last quarter, driven by high demand for ASICs and silicon photonics in cloud data centers, has outperformed market expectations.
