Capacity leaders in each wafer size
It is not surprising that the 300mm ranking includes only DRAM and NAND flash memory suppliers like Samsung, Micron, SK Hynix, and Kioxia/WD; four of the world’s largest pure-play foundries TSMC, GlobalFoundries, UMC, and Powerchip (including Nexchip); and Intel, the industry’s biggest manufacturer of microprocessors.
TSMC has the largest capacity in the main wafer sizes, with Intel No.6 in 12 inch and ST No.2 in 8 inch and No.5 in the ≤150mm category, reports IC Insights in its
Global Wafer Capacity 2021-2025 report. Infineon is No.4 in eight inch.

Top five chip makers dominate global wafer capacity February 11, 2021 // By Nick Flaherty
Samsung and TSMC lead the top five chip makers with 54 percent of the global wafer capacity says IC Insights
Samsung and TSMC dominate global wafer capacity for chip making says the latest report from IC Insights. The top five suppliers account for 54 percent of the wafer market.
The Global Wafer Capacity 2021-2025 report includes the 25 largest wafer capacity leaders in terms of monthly installed capacity in 200mm-equivalents as of December 2020. While there has been focus on TSMC as a pure foundry, Samsung is a significantly larger user of wafers for its memory chips and in-house processors.
The IC market enjoyed a double-digit increase in sales in 2020 and is forecast to see double-digit revenue gains each year through 2023, says IC Insights,
