Core Insights - The World Trade Organization (WTO) predicts that trade in artificial intelligence (AI)-related goods will be a key driver of growth in the first half of 2025, with a projected year-on-year increase of 20% [1] - AI-related goods, while accounting for less than 10% of total global goods trade, will contribute nearly half of the global year-on-year growth [1] - The growth in AI trade is primarily driven by structural investments in digital infrastructure, such as semiconductors and cloud servers, contrasting with a more stable performance of non-AI goods, which saw a year-on-year growth of less than 4% [1] Regional Contributions - North America has shown strong performance in imports, particularly with a 36% increase in semiconductor imports [1] - However, the majority of the growth in AI-related trade is attributed to Asia, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the total growth in AI-related trade for the first half of 2025 [1]
