Samsung's 2012 total capital expenditure is estimated to be 13.1 billion U.S. dollars, TSMC 83 dollars, SKynix (Hynix) 3.7 billion dollars, GlobalFoundrie is 3.1 billion dollars.

Since 2005, the amount of money invested by semiconductor manufacturers in the manufacturing sector has been increasing. At that time, the capital expenditures of the top five companies accounted for 40% of the capital expenditure of the semiconductor industry as a whole. In 2012, the amount of investment in the top 10 global capital expenditures was estimated to occupy 77% of the total investment in the industry as a whole, a substantial increase of 22% compared with 55% in 2005.

Among the top 35 wafer manufacturers in the world, only 6 companies had more capital expenditures in 2012 than in the previous year. The growth rates of the six manufacturers and capital expenditures were: Intel 4%, Samsung 11%, SK Hynix 16%, TSMC 13%, UMC 26%, and Japan 78% of Rohm.
