Wafer factory "bargains for orders"? Insiders: It's not so exaggerated that there is no need for drastic price reduction at present. Recently, some industry media reported that the Chinese mainland wafer foundry has overflowed its capacity and is striving for more IC design factory orders to return at a low price discount. A manager of Chinese mainland Head Wafer Factory told reporters that the actual situation was "not as serious as reported by the media, and not so exaggerated". The source said that since the fourth quarter of this year, the quotation of its wafer factory has been "stable at present". In the fourth quarter, product orders from display drivers, power management and other categories were "not bad", and the market demand was similar to that previously publicly disclosed. The independent control of the mainland market is still the main theme. It is understood that the fourth quarter is usually the "off-season" of the wafer foundry industry, and downstream customers will review the sales plan at the beginning of the year, and they are not willing to stock up and receive goods. A person from a consumer chip company in Chinese mainland said, "Fab factories generally adjust prices according to market supply and demand." Yang Shengxin, a senior analyst of Sigmaintell's semiconductor business unit, said in an interview that according to the observation of Sigma Intell, Chinese mainland's wafer factory decreased by about 5% in the fourth quarter of 2024, and concentrated on 12-inch products; The price of China Taiwan Province Wafer Factory has not changed significantly.
