Cloud data center expansions drive upgrades in power and cooling supply chains. BBU lithium batteries and liquid cooling are key trends, offering growth opportunities for related suppliers.
NVIDIA H20 may resume sales to China, boosting AI GPU supply and demand for HBM and GDDR. US policy shift favors Chinese adoption of high-end AI chips. New products like RTX PRO 6000 will further support diverse AI developments.
The AI ASIC market is rapidly expanding, with TPUs shifting from internal use to external commercialization due to their energy efficiency and customization. Leading cloud and tech firms actively develop in-house ASICs to reduce costs and supply risks, driving AI hardware toward high performance, low power, and diverse applications, becoming the main accelerator after GPUs.
MRDIMM addresses high-core CPU and AI needs, enhancing memory efficiency, but standards, cost, and support limit adoption.
LPDDR4X supply has tightened rapidly due to reduced production and EOL plans by major suppliers, driving prices sharply higher. Under dual pressure from supply constraints and price surges, smartphone brands are accelerating the shift to LPDDR5X, though entry- and mid-tier models face challenges converting due to processor limitations.
Cloud giants accelerate self-developed AI ASICs, boosting market scale and projects. Driven by internal needs and geopolitics, ASIC share will rise, with next-gen ASICs from major cloud providers expected to ramp up in 2026, a key growth year.
US may cancel China facility technology exemptions; however, with mature processes in place, case-by-case reviews are expected to keep the supply chain stable with limited market impact.
"TrendForce reports that suppliers are phasing out DDR4 and prioritizing the more profitable server market, leading to a continued tightening of PC DDR4 supply. Consequently, PC OEMs have been aggressively securing orders since June to ensure inventory, adopting a more open stance in price negotiations. This has led to an upward trend in Q3 contract prices and a clear shift in bargaining power towards suppliers. Uncertainty surrounding US tariff policies is also fueling short-term stocking behavior, further intensifying upward price pressure and rapidly narrowing the price gap between DDR4 and DDR5.
According to TrendForce, NVIDIA's data center revenue grew by 73% year-over-year in FY1Q26, driven by the gradual ramp-up of the new Blackwell GPU platform. After 2Q25, NVIDIA is expected to significantly increase production of the GB200 rack and launch the MGX RTX PRO to meet edge AI demands. The GB300 NVL72 design was reverted to the Bianca architecture for a smoother product launch, causing short-term pressures on the liquid cooling supply chain. In the future, NVIDIA's data center business will continue to expand, focusing on Tier 2 data centers and sovereign cloud projects, which will become key growth areas.
"According to TrendForce’s latest report, in response to new US export restrictions, NVIDIA plans to launch a downgraded version of the RTX PRO 6000 for the Chinese market, featuring GDDR7 DRAM. This product is expected to be released in 2H25, with demand estimated to reach 300,000-400,000 units, accounting for 40% of the total RTX PRO 6000 shipments for the year. Due to the export restrictions, NVIDIA may face intense competition in China from local AI chip suppliers such as Huawei and Cambricon. NVIDIA also plans to enhance integration with domestic AI ASICs through its NVLink Fusion technology to meet the growing market demand. Additionally, the demand for GDDR7 memory is projected to significantly increase, driven by NVIDIA, especially in the PC and workstation graphics card market.
