IFS Update 2025
Industry Update Webinar - 16 Sept 2025 Presented Via Zoom, 3pm-4pm UK BST (UMC/GMT+1)
Registration Open Now!
When is a boom not a boom? Behold the 2025 chip market enigma. On the one hand, traditional markets such as smartphones, notebooks, wearables, TVs and even automotive, are in the doldrums - weighed down by high inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and the absence of breakthrough features, and on the other, AI server-related markets are red hot and boiling over. The net result is double-digit market growth driven by ASPs NOT units. Nice if you can get it, but bad news for the rest. It’s also swimming against the 70 plus year semiconductor tide, epitomized by Moore’s law (basically doing more for less).
• Is it actually ‘different this time’?
• Have AI servers really changed industry dynamics?
• Is the chip market now ASP not unit driven?
• What happens if the AI server market tapers off or crashes and burns?
Find out the answer to these and other key questions at Future Horizons' IFS2025 Spring Industry Update Webinar, Tuesday 16 Sep 2025, at 3pm UK BST (GMT/UTC +1), registration now open. Discount for 3 or more attendees from the same company.
