Mark your diary now - IFS Industry Update Webinar 05 May 2026 

2025 was a tale of two markets … a red hot AI Infrastructure market that refused to cool or die, fuelling an insatiable demand for Processors, SOCs and Memory, offset by the traditional chip markets, such as smartphones, notebooks, wearables, TVs and even automotive, which were equally but oppositely locked in depression, weighed down by high inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and the absence of breakthrough features. The net result was a 22 percent market growth in value, but one driven by increased ASPs not units, with IC unit sales still locked in the doldrums. Entering 2026, the two big questions on everyone’s mind are “Is the AI investment boom a bubble set to burst” and “When will the traditional chip markets recover.”

• What is the outlook for growth in 2026?
• Will the AI boom keep driving the 2026 market?
• What would be the likely impact if the AI boom tapers off or crashes and burns?

In the recent IFS Update focused on the following:

• What’s Happened So Far vs. January's IFS Forecast?
• What Are the Likely Growth Scenarios For 2026?
• What’s Happening In CapEx & The China Ramifications?
• AI Unplugged ... The Hope, Hype & Reality
• Ask The Analyst Q&A Forum, Before, During & After
