TSMC, the world's largest chipmaker, has revised its growth forecast for the chip market to 10%, down from 'more than 10%', due to a potential decline in automotive chip demand. Despite this, TSMC projects a 30% increase in Q2 sales, driven by strong demand for AI-related chips. TSMC's significant role in manufacturing for NVIDIA and Apple positions it at the forefront of AI development. However, TSMC's stock dropped 6% following the adjusted outlook. This comes amid global challenges, including a major earthquake in Taiwan and geopolitical tensions, but also growing demand for AI chips.
