Semiconductor demand isn’t slowing down, driven by a persistent increment in artificial intelligence (AI) data center capacity. Market research firm Gartner expects the semiconductor industry to generate $1.6 trillion in revenue this year, up 92% from last year.
The firm expects another impressive double-digit jump in 2027 to $1.9 trillion. It is worth noting that AI data centers will account for 53% of the global semiconductor industry revenue in 2030, up from 36.5% in 2026. This is great news for Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom, which have benefited immensely from the secular growth of the semiconductor market.
However, I won’t be surprised to see Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM +2.96%) outperforming these semiconductor stocks next year. Let’s look at the reasons why.
