A source-checked 2026 report on the semiconductor market, AI accelerators, HBM, advanced packaging, foundry concentration, export controls and Singapore's role.

NVIDIA still holds roughly 80% of AI-accelerator revenue, but custom ASICs are growing three times faster. The architecture war, the TCO maths and the Southeast Asia build-out.

TSMC took 69.9% of 2025 foundry revenue and passed 72% in early 2026. The full ranking of manufacturers and foundries by revenue and capacity — and where the wafers actually are.

Micron broke ground on a US$24bn Singapore fab in January. Wafers arrive in 2028 — three years after the AI memory shortage that justified it. That gap is the whole story.
Blackwell Ultra is not just a faster accelerator announcement. It changes how buyers should evaluate rack density, liquid cooling, network fabrics, utilisation, cloud commitments and the real cost of an AI platform.
