Impact of AI on the Semiconductor Industry
The semiconductor industry is experiencing transformational opportunities thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), which is anticipated to generate significant growth in the long term. Major players like NVIDIA and TSMC are capitalizing on this trend, but not all manufacturers are equally positioned to benefit from the AI boom. Companies focused on traditional applications, such as mobile and automotive sectors, have not experienced the same recovery as those aligned with AI technologies. Despite these challenges, the industry expects 2025 to still be a year of growth, albeit below previous expectations.
