The primary driver of this unprecedented growth is the insatiable demand from hyperscalers for AI servers and computing infrastructure. For the global macroeconomy, this is a crystal-clear indicator: the hardware supercycle shows no signs of slowing down. The trillions of dollars in CAPEX promised by Wall Street are translating into tangible contracts for Asian foundries. The West’s dependence on Taiwan’s physical capacities is only intensifying, making any geopolitical upheavals in the Asia-Pacific region potentially fatal for the entire global AI industry.
