What is the reason

High demand creates problems for the companySamsung Foundry, which cannot produce the required number of components for all of its customers. The expansion of the Pyeongtaek facility will be of strategic importance to Samsung. The big disadvantage is that the costs must be compensated for by an increase in the cost of production.

The current situation in the industry also hindersSamsung's plans. The lack of components causes additional difficulties in establishing the necessary production. The crisis is limiting the options for businesses, but Samsung still hopes to tackle the challenge.

What consequences
