Benefiting from strong end-user AI application demand, Chicony Electronics has seen a surge in demand for data center hardware, including AI servers, general servers, storage servers, switches, and cabinet components, leading to robust shipments and a strong first quarter.
Looking ahead, Chicony states that the trend of AI-driven hardware demand remains clear. According to TrendForce, the combined capital expenditure of North America's top five cloud service providers (Google, AWS, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle) is projected to grow by up to 40% annually by 2026, indicating continued strong server demand.
To meet customer needs and navigate global supply chain challenges, Chicony is accelerating its localized manufacturing and operational strategy. Its new NCT plant in the US was officially inaugurated in mid-March, and its Malaysian mass production base is expected to go online sequentially this year. Combined with the ongoing construction of its US mass production facility, new production capacity is anticipated to drive future revenue growth. (Editor: Yang Kai-hsiang) (Published April 8, 2015)
