As computing power and per-rack power density for AI servers continue to climb, industry competition is expanding beyond GPUs, servers, and racks to encompass grid power, thermal management, and data center electrical infrastructure. Flex's recent announcement that it has agreed to acquire US-based power conversion equipment maker EPC Power directly reflects this broader market shift.

Taiwanese robotics component maker Aurotek attributed its strong revenue growth in August 2026 to continued robust customer pull-ins for its automation subsystem equipment in the semiconductor, high-end artificial intelligence (AI) server, and electronics manufacturing industries. The company also highlighted the outlook for robot shipments.

Changs Ascending Enterprise (CAEC) said some shipments of lithium iron phosphate battery systems used in semiconductor uninterruptible power supply equipment were delayed after customers adjusted plant expansion schedules, and heavy rain in southern Taiwan slowed delivery and acceptance. August 2026 revenue fell from July, but still ranked as the second-highest August on record.

Pegatron reported consolidated revenue of NT$88.31 billion (approx. US$2.8 billion) in August 2026, up 2.66% from the previous month and 34.11% from a year earlier, supported by its information and communications technology businesses. The company expects stronger second-half shipments, led by expanding server volumes and the launch of Apple's iPhone 18 series, with the fourth quarter likely to mark the seasonal peak.

At the 2026 China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE), Luxshare and its lens module unit Luxvisions jointly showcased multiple optical and sensing technologies, including automotive camera modules, robot vision modules for autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), as well as tracking modules and waveguide display components for augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality (XR) wearables. The display underscored the group's push for vertical integration in optics.

At an optoelectronics trade expo in China, Hitachi High-Tech used its booth not to unveil a flagship product of its own, but to showcase a growing web of partnerships. This is a strategy the company says reflects both its late entry into the photonics race and its long-term goals in the region.

A rule published in the Federal Register on September 11 pushes US communications supply-chain restrictions past the finished device and into the parts inside it, exposing contract manufacturers, router vendors, and e-commerce platforms to a compliance test that begins 30 days after publication.

MediaTek reported August 2026 revenue of NT$64.183 billion (approx. US$2.03 billion), up 32.41% from July and 44.08% year-over-year.
