The Bank of Korea said that demand related to artificial intelligence has reshaped the Korean semiconductor industry pattern. “Since the launch of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, investment in global data centers and AI computing power infrastructure has surged dramatically, and the global semiconductor supply chain has ushered in a restructuring driven by artificial intelligence.” The Bank of Korea said, “Korean chip companies have adjusted their production and investment layout in line with this global trend.” The bank added that the semiconductor industry is currently in a super boom cycle. The two major memory chip leaders, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, have fully benefited, and it is expected that the share of related industries in output value will increase dramatically in 2026.
