Counterpoint research, a market research agency, said that in 2020, the global chip foundry industry's revenue will be about $82 billion, up 23% year-on-year. Despite the high base, revenue is expected to grow by 12% year-on-year to $92 billion in 2021. In 2021, the growth of global chip OEM industry is driven by the increase of chip shipment and price, which is very rare in the past. In particular, since the second half of 2020, the capacity of 8-inch chip factories is tight, and some suppliers will increase the average chip price by 10%.
