-- 世界的な半導体業界団体であるSEMIは、中東情勢の緊張や広範な貿易摩擦によるサプライチェーンへの圧力にもかかわらず、半導体需要は引き続き堅調に推移すると予想していると、ロイター通信が火曜日に報じた。 SEMIは、半導体業界の売上高が今年1兆ドルに達し、2035年までに2兆ドルに倍増すると予測している。この成長は、主にAI関連データセンターの急速な拡大によって牽引されるという。 アジット・マノチャCEOはロイターに対し、地政学的リスクが短期的な成長を阻害する可能性は低いものの、ヘリウムや臭素といった主要材料の不足が長期的な見通しに影響を与える可能性があると述べた。また、供給面での脆弱性を指摘し、東南アジア諸国に対し、グローバルな生産ネットワークを強化・多様化するために半導体製造能力を拡大するよう促したと、ロイターは報じた。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)
