Core Insights - The technology industry is accelerating supply chain diversification in response to changing U.S. tariff policies [1] - There are two main trends: server production is shifting to the U.S. and Mexico, while smartphone and PC manufacturing remains concentrated in Asia to control costs [1] - The U.S. market for servers, smartphones, and PCs is projected to generate $565 billion in 2024, accounting for over half of the tech hardware revenue [1] Group 1 - Server production has been migrating since 2018, with a focus on U.S. and Mexican manufacturing for products aimed at the U.S. market [1] - Major Taiwanese ODMs, including Foxconn, Quanta, Wistron, and Inventec, have established production bases in the U.S. to meet customer demands and mitigate tariff pressures [1] - TSMC's expansion of advanced chip production in Arizona further reinforces this trend towards localized manufacturing [1] Group 2 - AI servers are strategically positioned to largely avoid the impact of U.S. tariffs, with many manufacturers establishing cross-regional operational networks [1] - Components and subsystems are primarily produced in Asia, with final assembly occurring in Taiwan or Mexico, the latter benefiting from tariff exemptions under the USMCA [1] - The preference for U.S. assembly is growing due to simplified assembly processes and enhanced customer support efficiency, particularly for high-priced AI servers [2]
