ME AI message: Morgan Stanley’s latest Greater China semiconductor report, released on July 31, concludes that AI semiconductors remain in a high-growth cycle, with demand expanding beyond pure GPU needs to include advanced nodes, advanced packaging, memory, test equipment, ASICs, and China’s AI chip supply chain. Morgan Stanley has made a highly aggressive projection: the global cloud AI semiconductor market could reach $485 billion by 2026 and expand further to approximately $753 billion by 2030. Meanwhile, the global semiconductor market is expected to reach $1.5 trillion by 2030, meaning AI semiconductors could account for nearly half of the total market size.
