As major North American CSPs release their latest earnings and investment outlooks, TrendForce has increased its 2025 CapEx forecast for the top eight CSPs worldwide from 61% YoY growth to 65%. For 2026, CSPs are anticipated to continue investing aggressively, with total CapEx expected to exceed US$600 billion, marking a 40% YoY increase. This trend highlights the strong long-term growth potential of AI infrastructure.
TrendForce hosted the AI-Driven Innovation: The Convergence of Vision, Power, and Intelligence seminar in Seoul on November 5. The leading technology industry analysis firm shared insights into how AI is driving advances spanning near-eye displays and autonomous robotics to HBM memory, advanced MLCCs, and AI-optimized semiconductor manufacturing. Key highlights from the seminar include:
Solid-state battery (SSB) development is rapidly transitioning from research to large-scale manufacturing. According to TrendForce’s latest reports, nearly 100 companies globally have announced plans to produce solid-state batteries, with a combined capacity surpassing 100 GWh. Some of this capacity, especially semi-solid batteries, has already begun mass production and reached the GWh scale.
TrendForce’s latest investigations indicate that global TV shipments in 3Q25 totaled 49.75 million units, representing a 6% increase QoQ but a 4.9% decrease YoY. This is the first time in history that third-quarter shipments have fallen below 50 million. The decline is attributed to extended TV replacement cycles, increased demand driven by tariff concerns, and the reduced influence of China’s subsidy initiatives.
TrendForce’s latest analysis of the AI server market shows that demand from CSPs and sovereign cloud deployments will remain robust through 2026. This momentum will fuel stronger pull-ins for GPUs and ASICs, alongside the rapid expansion of AI inference applications. As a result, global AI server shipments are forecast to grow by more than 20% in 2026, with AI servers accounting for an increased 17% share of overall server shipments.
