**Taipei, Taiwan** – Despite strong cost control and management, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world’s largest contract chipmaker, is facing difficulties expanding its overseas operations. The company’s profitability remains uncertain due to these challenges. Meanwhile, competitors Samsung Electronics and Intel are struggling with a lack of customers, caught in a cycle of low demand and price pressure.

Analysts believe that TSMC’s difficulties stem from the complexity of establishing a global presence, with factors such as local regulations and talent acquisition playing a significant role.
