Default Samsung invests $116 billion in non-memory chips

Gunning for TSMC and Qualcomm

Samsung plans to invest $116 billion in non-memory chips through 2030, to cut its reliance on the volatile memory chip market and develop chips for self-driving cars and AI-enabled gear.

Many analysts see the move as an attempt to grab market share from TSMC and Qualcomm. Samsung has seen the memory chip market contract after years of an unprecedented boom.

Samsung, which has expanded its chip business largely through organic investment, said on its $116 billion will be split between internal R&D and production infrastructure.

“The investment plan is expected to help the company to reach its goal of becoming the world leader in not only memory semiconductors but also logic chips by 2030,” it said in a statement.

Senior analyst Song Myung-sup at HI Investment & Securities said: “Samsung appears to be aggressive on the non-memory side given the size of the spending, but it is too early to tell whether this long-term plan will work out because it depends a lot on the demand situation and market conditions.”

The aggressive investment plan in semiconductors also comes as Samsung’s smartphone business, once its biggest earnings generator, struggles to revive growth.

Samsung said the chip investment would create 15,000 jobs.

The firm’s heir apparent Jay Y. Lee who is taking time out awaiting a Supreme Court decision on his bribery conviction, has been under pressure from the government to help create more jobs, as Asia’s fourth-largest economy is battling rising numbers of jobless college graduates partly due to slowing economic growth.
