Commodity Exposures
Price Sensitivity
TSMC's manufacturing processes consume extraordinary quantities of ultra-pure water (over 150,000 tonnes per day), electricity (equivalent to a medium-sized city), and specialty chemicals. Advanced EUV lithography at 3nm and below requires even more energy per wafer. TSMC's expansion to Arizona and Japan is creating massive construction commodity demand. The company's dominance of advanced chip manufacturing makes it a critical node in global commodity supply chains for electronics.
