Meanwhile, NVIDIA and Intel are leveraging AI infrastructure momentum to encroach on edge-AI applications in smart factories, threatening analog incumbents’ turf. Over the next 18 months, sustained low rates could enable systematic capex rebound in industrial sectors—but only firms that build localized delivery networks and integrated technology platforms will convert this cyclical tailwind into structural advantage.
