Nexchip is among Chinese foundries winning market share in the crucial $56.3 billion industry of legacy or mature node chips.

Nexchip leveraging steep discounts after Beijing 's localisation call forced Taiwan 's Powerchip to give up the once-lucrative business making integrated circuits for Chinese flat panels.

Chinese companies dramatically increased legacy chip production capacity in recent years .

An executive from a chip design company in Taiwan , who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said they had been receiving more orders from international customers asking to make chips outside China since 2023 . "Some customers will tell us that no matter what, they don't want us to tape out chips in China ; they don't want 'Made in China ,'" the executive said. (This story has been refiled to say 'specialty', not 'speciality', in paragraph 5 ) (Reporting by Wen-Yee Lee ; Editing by Brenda Goh and Gerry Doyle ).
