SG&A Spending Patterns: A Tale of Two Giants

In the ever-evolving landscape of global technology, the spending patterns of industry leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) and SAP SE offer a fascinating glimpse into strategic priorities. From 2014 to 2023, TSMC's Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses surged by nearly 200%, reflecting its aggressive expansion and innovation strategies. In contrast, SAP SE's SG&A expenses grew by approximately 88%, indicating a more measured approach to scaling operations.

By 2023, TSMC's SG&A expenses were over six times higher than SAP's, underscoring its dominant market position and commitment to maintaining a competitive edge. Notably, TSMC's expenses in 2024 are projected to reach unprecedented levels, while SAP's data for the same year remains unavailable, hinting at potential strategic shifts. This comparison not only highlights the contrasting growth trajectories of these tech titans but also provides valuable insights into their future directions.
