2025 was a tale of two markets … a red hot AI Infrastructure market that refuses to cool, 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 26 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 three big questions are “Is the AI investment boom a bubble set to burst? When will the non-AI chip market recover, and Will the war in Iran upend the somewhat fragile global economy?”

Tune in to our IFS2026 Spring Industry Update webinar on Tuesday 05 May 2026, at 3pm UK BST/UTC +1and get the inside track on:

• Has the broader market recovery finally turned the corner?
• What is the market outlook for 2026?
• What are the likely risks for the current AI boom?
• Will the post-Covid CapEx binge trigger overcapacity?

Plus the ever popular “Ask The Analyst” interactive Q&A session.
