Industry insiders pointed out that the capacity utilization rate of DB HiTek, the second-largest foundries in Korea in Q4, has dropped to 80%, while the average capacity utilization rate in Q3 is 95%. The capacity utilization rate of foundries such as Key Foundry, Magna Chip, and SK Hynix System ICs is also only 70%-80%. As the decline in the capacity utilization rate of Korean foundries exceeds expectations, there are even pessimistic predictions that some companies may only have an operating rate of 50%-60% next year.
