Global foundry revenue rose 14.6% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in the second quarter of 2025 to a record USD 41.7 billion, according to TrendForce. The increase was driven by China’s consumer subsidy program and early demand for smartphones, notebooks, PCs, and servers ahead of second-half launches, reports TrendForce.
