Annual report lists 9 Taiwan fabrication plants (fabs), 5 overseas, and 17 million+ wafers.
This statistic places TSMC’s global expansion in context. The company disclosed total managed capacity above 17 million 12-inch-equivalent wafers in 2025 and listed fabs in Taiwan, China, the United States and Japan. It did not disclose exact wafer-capacity share by geography in the public annual-report excerpt. The clean public chart therefore uses fab-count footprint as a transparent proxy, not a capacity split.

Fab means fabrication plant. Fab count is not wafer capacity; facilities differ by size, technology, ramp stage and ownership. The annual report states capacity exceeded 17M 12-inch-equivalent wafers but not by geography.
Count the Taiwan and overseas fabs listed in TSMC’s 2025 annual-report profile. Calculate shares of the 14 named operating or managed fabs and show total managed capacity as context.
All fab-count and capacity context comes from TSMC’s annual report, but geography-specific wafer capacity is not disclosed.
