[News] STMicroelectronics Reportedly to Hike Prices on Jan. 1, 2027 After Three Rounds in 2026, Citing Supply Chain Costs
STMicroelectronics is reportedly preparing another round of price increases amid rising operating and supply chain costs. According to ijiwei, a price adjustment letter recently circulated in the market indicates that the company plans to raise prices on selected products starting January 1, 2027. Mydrivers adds that the specific products affected and the size of the planned increases have yet to be officially confirmed.
As ijiwei notes, STMicroelectronics cited persistent inflationary pressures throughout 2026, with costs for raw materials, logistics, labor, and other production-related expenses continuing to rise. The company also emphasized its efforts to improve efficiency and control costs while continuing to invest in technology and manufacturing capabilities.
STMicroelectronics Issues Three Price Hike Notices in 2026
The latest reported adjustment follows three price increase notices issued by STMicroelectronics in 2026, ijiwei notes. The first surfaced in late March, announcing price hikes across multiple product lines effective April 26, citing rising costs. A second letter emerged in late May, outlining increases for selected products starting June 28, followed by a third notice in late July announcing further adjustments across multiple product lines effective August 23.
The broader semiconductor industry has also seen repeated price adjustments. According to Zhitong Finance, the trend has extended across analog chips, power semiconductors, MCUs, and RF components. Texas Instruments, NXP, onsemi, and Infineon have also implemented price adjustments in 2026, reflecting continued cost pressures across the industry.
Separately, Reuters reports that STMicroelectronics CEO Jean-Marc Chery warned at an industry event in Munich that foundries and chip-packaging companies are increasingly shifting capacity away from automotive and industrial applications toward higher-margin AI products, creating supply bottlenecks for these traditional chip markets.
