Memory Companies Drive Taiwan’s IC Design Revenue Growth in 2026

Taiwan’s IC design sector is expanding rapidly, but the gains are concentrated in memory-related businesses, DigiTimes reports. The 105 listed chip designers tracked by the publication generated combined January-to-August revenue of NT$1.15 trillion, a 29.6% increase from a year earlier. Five memory-related companies contributed about two-thirds of the NT$261.8 billion increase in sector revenue. The figures highlight how stronger memory demand and pricing are supporting the region’s broader semiconductor ecosystem. The source does not identify the five companies or separate the contributions of DRAM, NAND and memory-controller products, so the segment mix cannot be quantified further.
