The partnership between Amkor and NVIDIA highlights the growing significance of semiconductor packaging in the AI chip supply chain. Technologically, this surge in demand for advanced packaging will spur upstream material suppliers and equipment manufacturers to intensify R&D efforts, catering to the expanding HPC market. From a compliance standpoint, as global trade dynamics become more intricate, with potential US restrictions on Taiwan, China's semiconductor sector, companies must diversify their sourcing strategies to mitigate risks. Competitively, other leading OSAT players like ASE and JCET are likely to accelerate their investments in advanced packaging technologies to stay competitive. Looking ahead, specialized packaging services for AI and data center applications are expected to emerge as a new focal point over the next 12-24 months, fostering integrated development across the entire value chain.
