Core Insights - The report highlights that the AI wave is driving the electronic industry into a new development phase, with three core areas showing significant growth momentum: wafer foundry, SoC, and thermal management materials [2][3][6]. Wafer Foundry - The wafer foundry segment is expected to benefit from AI development, particularly in servers, data centers, and storage, which are the fastest-growing sub-markets. Global semiconductor sales are projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, with wafer demand expected to reach 11.2 million pieces per month in 2025 and grow to 15.1 million by 2030. The growth rates for 2024 and 2025 are forecasted at 6% and 7%, respectively [2][3]. SoC (System on Chip) - AI technology is becoming a crucial component of SoC architecture, enhancing smart processing capabilities for edge devices. The global SoC market is predicted to grow from $138.46 billion in 2024 to $205.97 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% from 2024 to 2029. The demand for SoC in the automotive sector is also rising significantly [3][6]. Thermal Management Materials - The demand for thermal management materials is expected to grow rapidly due to the increased heat generation from AI-enabled devices. The global thermal management market is projected to expand from approximately $15.98 billion in 2023 to $26.43 billion by 2028, with an average annual growth rate of 10.5% [6][7]. Photovoltaic Industry - The photovoltaic industry is currently in a phase of supply-side optimization driven by self-discipline and technological innovation. The first quarter of 2025 saw a performance recovery due to installation rushes, but the industry remains in a loss phase. Key areas for supply-side optimization include silicon materials and battery cells, with a focus on reducing silver usage in production [6][7][8]. Lithium Battery Industry - The lithium battery sector is experiencing a recovery in market conditions, with solid-state batteries and sodium batteries expected to reach a scale application phase. The report suggests that the overall profitability of the lithium battery sector is improving, driven by new technologies and increasing demand from emerging applications [14][15][16]. Metal Industry - The report indicates that the supply-demand structure in the metal industry is improving, particularly for magnesium and lithium. The magnesium industry is expected to enter a state of sustained tight balance, while the lithium supply surplus is gradually improving. The global magnesium demand is projected to grow significantly due to its applications in lightweight and green technologies [18][19][23][24].
