Global market intelligence firm TrendForce reports that the server market outlook for 2025 has undergone a significant upward revision...
TrendForce has revised up its server shipment forecast for 2025 to nearly 7% YoY growth, driven by CSPs' expansion of cloud data centers and AI demand. North American CSPs are increasing orders for general-purpose servers, while Chinese CSPs are actively procuring AI servers. As a result, server ODM's motherboard SMT line utilization rates have risen significantly. The development of technologies like DeepSeek will further drive the growth of the AI server market.
In 2024, the American Robotaxi service provider Waymo completed more than 4 million rides and planned to further expand into new cities such as Miami and Tokyo. As companies in both China and the US actively expand their robotaxi services, the future of related applications looks promising. However, the cost of advanced driving assistance features still limits their widespread adoption, and the performance of current autonomous driving systems across various automotive brands still has room for improvement. An autonomous vehicle generates about 40TB of data daily, necessitating the use of cloud platforms for computation, storage, and analysis. The emergence of these solutions, in turn, is accelerating the development and popularization of autonomous driving technology. Additionally, Taiwan-based companies are expected to demonstrate a unique competitive edge in areas such as sensor manufacturing, system integration, and innovative applications.
According to TrendForce’s observations, chatbots and cloud service applications have actuated a rapid growth for the global AI server market since 2023...
TrendForce indicates that DeepSeek and other Chinese AI companies are challenging the hardware-centric AI development model by focusing on operational efficiency, potentially prompting CSPs to reassess their AI infrastructure investments. While CSP capital expenditures will remain high in 2025, investments in in-house ASICs will increase to reduce costs and reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. US export controls will further accelerate the development of indigenous chips and algorithms in China's AI sector. In the long term, DeepSeek's emergence may lead to a downward revision in AI GPU demand and shift AI development towards efficiency-focused strategies.

Key Takeaways
Major CoWoS supplier TSMC continues to expand its capacity alongside the ongoing growth in demand for AI chips, such as GPUs and ASICs of CSPs. TSMC came to a total CoWoS capacity of...
TrendForce forecasts that CoWoS capacity will double in 2025, driven by demand for Blackwell and CSPs' ASICs. TSMC, the major supplier, will expand capacity to meet the demand, with NVIDIA's Blackwell platform accounting for the largest share and CoWoS-L exceeding 50%. AWS's in-house ASIC demand will also significantly increase. While TSMC's capacity expansion may face challenges, overall market demand for CoWoS remains robust.
