产业链及光模块需求

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The focus is on the AI industry chain and optical module demand for 2024 and beyond, particularly the 1.6T and 800G optical modules [1][2]. Key Points and Arguments - 1.6T Optical Module Demand: Expected to exceed 6 million units by 2025, driven by training needs and growth in B200 server sales. B200 server shipments are projected to surpass 3 million units, significantly boosting 1.6T optical module demand [1][2]. - 800G Optical Module Demand: Growth primarily from inference applications. Increased confidence from overseas operators in domestic leading companies has led to an expected additional order of approximately 2 million 800G optical modules by 2025 [1][3]. - AI Applications in B2B Market: Various vertical industries are increasingly adopting AI technologies, yielding significant results. For instance, a film producer reduced project timelines from months to weeks using NVIDIA's Omniverse, while a pharmaceutical company is leveraging AI for innovative drug research [1][4]. - Overseas AI Development: Rapid advancements in AI applications, especially in the B2B sector, are noted in regions like Taiwan and the USA. Companies like Apple and initiatives by Elon Musk are expected to significantly increase AI inference demand [1][5]. - Domestic Companies' Capacity Expansion: Leading domestic optical module companies are making expected progress in overseas capacity construction, with plans to expand to meet future order growth and mitigate potential trade friction risks [1][6]. - Labor Efficiency in Thailand: High labor efficiency in Thailand is beneficial for listed companies. Thai workers are adaptable to shift work, have good compliance, and lower turnover rates, which enhances productivity and risk resilience [1][7]. - Current Trends in Optical Module Industry: The industry is in a strong upward growth phase, with increasing customer orders and new market entrants. Companies like Zhongji Xuchuang and Tianfu are still undervalued, with expected performance growth from 2024 to 2027 [1][8]. - Market Sentiment: Recent market gains are attributed to overall positive sentiment, particularly benefiting domestic optical module leaders that can meet overseas demand [1][9]. Additional Important Insights - The anticipated growth in optical module demand is linked to advancements in technology and increased adoption of Ethernet architectures for inference applications [1][3]. - The competitive advantage gained from AI applications in various industries is expected to manifest significantly in the coming years, enhancing market dynamics [1][4]. - The optical module sector is projected to maintain a growth trajectory over the next 3 to 5 years, with current valuations indicating potential for further investment [1][8].
