What the source says
A key driver of this growth is the continued expansion of advanced process capacity (7nm and below), which is expected to increase by approximately 69% – from 850,000 wpm in 2024 to a historic high of 1.4 million wpm in 2028 – representing a CAGR of around 14%, double the industry average.
Checked: the figure 1.4 million wafers per monthis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
