2026 growth numbers are surreal, with the first half year growth up 102.5 percent vs 2025. On current trends, full year growth will reach between 120-140 percent, the strongest growth ever in the industry’s 70 plus year history. Little wonder the industry bandwagon is ablaze with gung-ho forecasts of uninterrupted double-digit growth driven by a brave new AI-driven world. Given the undisputable factual evidence, what could possibly go wrong? Market ebullience rules OK. Or does it? Digging beneath the surface reveals growth by ASPs, not units and limited to a single, highly specialised end-market application. 

 As 2026 draws to a close, the three big questions are:

• Will the AI-driven boom keep the market afloat through 2027 and beyond?
• What if the AI investment boom slows or worse still crashes and burns?
• Was 2026 the start of transformational paradigm shift or will the broader traditional markets eventually take back control?

Get the answers to these questions, plus the ever popular Ask The Analyst Q&A session, and more at
Future Horizons IFS2026 Mid-Term Industry Update Webinar.
