2025: How artificial intelligence is reshaping the demand for electronic components
In 2024, the global electronic components industry demonstrated positive signs of recovery despite facing economic uncertainties and supply chain challenges. Although there are still issues related to the supply of high-end semiconductors and certain raw materials, demand continues to grow, driven by advancements in 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and automotive electronics. To address this shifting market landscape, companies are accelerating their digital transformation, adopting smart supply chain management, and implementing efficient inventory control strategies.
A
mong these, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly changing the structure of demand for electronic
components. The widespread adoption of AI is driving an increase in demand for high- performance processors, memory modules, sensors, and other components. It is expected that by 2025, AI will become a key growth driver for the electronic components market.
The impact of AI on electronic component demand
At its core, AI involves real-time processing and analysis of large volumes of data, which requires powerful computing capabilities and highly efficient hardware support. As AI applications expand across autonomous driving, robotics, smart homes, and healthcare, the demand for electronic components is evolving in the following key areas:
1. Increased demand for high- performance computing AI’s computational needs place higher demands on processors. To support complex tasks such as deep learning and data analytics, especially in edge computing and big data applications, there will be a significant surge in demand for processors such as GPUs,
TPUs, and specialized accelerators. Future AI chips will continue to improve in terms of performance and integration to enhance computational efficiency and reduce latency.
2. Power-efficiency becomes crucial AI technologies used in mobile devices, smart homes, IoT applications, and other scenarios pose challenges in terms of power consumption. Low-power design not only extends device battery life but also enhances overall system energy efficiency. In the coming years, low-power features in AI chips will become mainstream, particularly in battery- powered devices, where optimizing energy efficiency will be a key factor in determining product competitiveness.
3. Growth in smart sensors and edge computing
Edge computing enables AI to process data locally at the device level, which increases the complexity of sensor requirements. In applications such as autonomous driving, smart manufacturing, and environmental monitoring, sensors must be highly accurate and capable of sophisticated data processing. The deployment of AI in these fields is driving the demand for advanced sensors, actuators, and embedded computing modules.
4. Increased need for storage and high-speed data transmission As AI’s demand for massive amounts of data grows, storage and data transmission technologies are continuously evolving. AI applications require efficient data storage and fast data transmission capabilities to support real-time computing and analysis. Future AI systems will need not only larger storage capacities but also faster memory and processing power to ensure the efficient flow of data.
The future of the electronic components market: Integration and specialization
With the widespread application of AI technologies, the electronic components market is moving toward greater integration,

specialization, and miniaturization. More and more AI chips will integrate additional functions such as visual processing, speech recognition, and computational acceleration, reducing the number of components needed in a system. This trend will not only enhance device performance but also lower product costs.
Additionally, as AI applications continue to expand across different sectors, components will become increasingly specialized. For example, in autonomous driving, AI chips will need to be specifically optimized for sensor data processing and real-time decision-making. In smart homes, low-power AI processing modules will become the norm. Customization and specialization in components will become the dominant trend in the market.
Conclusion
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the electronic components market.
