Leading the Semiconductor Industry to Tackle AI-Driven Chip Shortage Challenges
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is set to drive a significant surge in demand for AI-focused semiconductors in the coming years. This development could potentially trigger a new global chip shortage, according to a recent report by Bain & Company. The report highlights both the challenges and opportunities facing the industry as it navigates this dynamic landscape.
Rapid Growth in AI Demand
The global AI-related hardware and software market is projected to grow by 40% to 55% annually, reaching $780 billion to $990 billion by 2027. David Crawford, Chairman of Bain’s Global Technology Practice, noted that companies are transitioning from experimentation to scaling generative AI applications across their operations.
The growing demand for graphics processing units (GPUs), critical for training large AI models, is driving substantial pressure on supply chains. Additionally, the increasing adoption of AI-enabled smartphones and laptops is expected to push upstream component demand by over 30% by 2026. These trends and geopolitical tensions pose significant risks to the global semiconductor supply chain.
The Complexity of Semiconductor Supply Chains
The report highlights the inherent complexity of the semiconductor supply chain, where a demand increase of over 20% could destabilize equilibrium and cause shortages. The accelerating adoption of AI across multiple end markets could exceed this threshold, creating critical bottlenecks throughout the supply chain.
The last global chip shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by supply chain disruptions and soaring consumer electronics demand, severely impacted industries such as automotive manufacturing. Today, the AI-driven surge presents similar risks, demanding proactive measures.
