Nvidia sees clear visibility to US$500 billion in revenue from its Blackwell and Rubin platforms through the end of 2026, with AI infrastructure demand continuing to outstrip supply as clouds remain sold out and the company's entire GPU fleet—spanning Blackwell, Hopper, and Ampere—runs at full utilization.

Nvidia delivered another quarter of rapid growth in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, with sales jumping 62.49% on soaring AI-related demand. Data center revenue led the performance, while the company issued an upbeat fourth-quarter forecast supported by strong uptake of its next-generation platforms.

Hon Hai (Foxconn) is set to unveil its humanoid robot, developed in collaboration with Taiwanese suppliers, at its Hon Hai Technology Day (HHTD) event scheduled for November 21–22, 2025. Although the global humanoid robot market has not yet reached mass production, Taiwanese manufacturers have advanced in manufacturing complete machines and key components, particularly in the second half of 2025. Industry observers expect these developments to substantially increase revenue contributions by 2026.

Tokyo-based AI developer Sakana AI announced in November 2025 the completion of a JPY20 billion (approx. US$135 million) Series B funding round that doubled its valuation to around JPY400 billion (approx. US$2.635 billion), making it the highest-valued unlisted startup in Japan, surpassing previous leaders like Preferred Networks and SmartNews.

Pegatron has announced a strategic three-party collaboration with AI cloud service provider Together AI and AI digital infrastructure supplier 5C Group to jointly deploy a next-generation AI factory. It will be based on Nvidia platforms, including Pegatron-developed Nvidia GB300 and B200 server racks.

Driven by a sharp surge in memory prices, the market widely expects that IT products such as servers, smartphones, and PCs will see significant price increases in 2026. Analysts believe this mirrors the chip inflation phenomenon of 2021, when semiconductor production was temporarily disrupted due to COVID-19. This time, the difference is that the price surge is being driven by memory chips (DRAM and NAND Flash), produced mainly by South Korean companies.

IC distributor Edom Technology says that the notebook (NB) and networking markets are the two major development pillars for Taiwan, and that the networking market in particular holds strong opportunities during transitions to new standards. According to Edom, high-value-added products are less affected by memory price surges because customers willing to support higher prices will be prioritized. The market may need some time to return to a supply–demand balance.

The US is intensifying its use of four key non-tariff measures—anti-dumping duties, balancing taxes, antitrust actions, and forced labor bans—creating mounting compliance and operational challenges for Taiwanese manufacturers. These tools have become central to Washington's trade strategy under President Donald Trump and now pose greater business risks than traditional tariff actions, according to insights shared at workshops hosted by Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA).
