If you're still lamenting the missed opportunity to buy a PC before last year's memory price surge, brace yourself for even more discouraging news. Alongside the ongoing wafer shortage, copper foil—a key raw material for semiconductors—is now experiencing an unprecedented wave of price increases. Starting in March, processing fees for all grades of copper foil will rise by at least 5%, with premium products facing even steeper hikes. International powerhouses like Resonac and Mitsui Mining & Smelting have also joined the price-raising bandwagon. The primary driver behind these price hikes is the soaring demand fueled by the explosive growth in AI computing power. Meanwhile, the lengthy expansion cycle for high-end copper foil production means supply is struggling to keep pace with this surging demand.
