TSMC says global chip market to hit $1.5 trillion by 2030 as AI drives growth

TSMC now expects the global semiconductor market to exceed $1.5 trillion by 2030, up from its prior $1 trillion forecast. The updated outlook signals stronger long-term demand for chips, likely supported by AI-related growth and broader technology spending. The news is positive for TSMC and the semiconductor sector, though it is a long-dated projection rather than an immediate earnings catalyst.
