A Comparative Analysis of SG&A Expenses: TSMC vs. Sony

In the ever-evolving landscape of global technology, operational efficiency is paramount. This analysis delves into the Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses of two industry giants: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) and Sony Group Corporation, from 2014 to 2024. Over this decade, Sony's SG&A expenses have consistently dwarfed those of TSMC, averaging around 40 times higher. However, TSMC has shown a remarkable upward trend, with a 300% increase in SG&A expenses, from approximately 24 billion in 2014 to nearly 97 billion in 2024. Meanwhile, Sony's expenses have grown by about 25%, peaking at over 2 trillion in 2024. This data underscores the contrasting operational strategies of these tech titans, with Sony maintaining a steady yet high expenditure, while TSMC rapidly scales its operations, reflecting its aggressive growth strategy in the semiconductor industry.
