Asia Emerges as AI Infrastructure Leader with Strong Semiconductor Ecosystem
Saxo Bank's latest report highlights Asia's dominance in building AI infrastructure, with South Korea, Japan and Taiwan forming the backbone of the semiconductor supply chain. TSMC commands 70% of leading-edge chipmaking capacity, while SK Hynix and Samsung control 90% of high-bandwidth memory production.
The region offers investors fundamentally-driven opportunities as Asian manufacturers benefit from AI capex regardless of which U.S. platform dominates software. Key players like Lasertec, Advantest and Ibiden provide essential testing and substrate components.
