Product Code: TRi-175
As data centers adopt HVDC architectures to reduce grid-to-chip power losses, demand for advanced power conversion and next-gen semiconductors surges. Meanwhile, Asian manufacturers continue to dominate the PCB and specialized substrate supply chains.
Key Highlights
- PCB Supply: Asian firms lead from raw materials to advanced substrates.
- Materials: Glass fibers are tailored for either signal transmission or stability.
- Efficiency: High-voltage designs minimize massive power step-down losses.
- Power Tech: Demand rises for advanced power conversion and backup systems.
- Semiconductors: Next-gen, low-loss semiconductors highly benefit from this shift.
