Bank of America Significantly Raises Semiconductor Industry Forecast: Market Size Could Reach $2.7 Trillion by 2030

On June 24, Bank of America significantly raised its global semiconductor industry forecast in its latest research report, stating that AI demand is shifting from validating investment returns to addressing structural supply constraints in chips, storage, and power. The shortage of memory chips and rising prices are expected to become the core drivers of industry growth in the coming years. Bank of America predicts that the global semiconductor market size will grow from $787 billion in 2025 to $2.734 trillion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 28% from 2025 to 2030, higher than the previous expectation of $2.3 trillion and 23%. Bank of America anticipates that the chip industry took about 50 years to achieve its first $1 trillion in sales, while AI is expected to generate an additional $1 trillion in the next five years.

  • Meta and Microsoft Lead with Data Center Leasing Commitments Exceeding $850 Billion

    On June 24, Bloomberg reported that Meta Platforms Inc. and Microsoft Corp. each committed billions of dollars in additional data center leasing expenditures during their most recent fiscal quarters, further increasing the overall investment in the AI sector. These commitments have pushed the total future data center leasing commitments of major cloud computing companies to over $850 billion. An analysis of regulatory filings shows that as tech giants compete to expand their server clusters, the amounts of these leasing commitments have continued to rise over the past year. These future leasing costs are additional to existing leasing contracts and will not appear on the balance sheet until the companies begin actual payments. While these leasing commitments typically pertain to data centers, they may also encompass facilities such as offices or warehouses. Some leasing contracts include specific clauses that allow companies to terminate future performance obligations under certain conditions.

  • Goldman Sachs Warns: AI Investment Boom Not Peaking Yet, But Market Pricing Clearly Ahead of Fundamentals

    On June 24, Goldman Sachs stated in its latest research report that the AI investment boom has not yet peaked, but the market pricing for its future returns is clearly ahead of macroeconomic realizations. The firm pointed out that the share of U.S. technology investment in GDP has surpassed the peak during the internet bubble of the 1990s, with capital expenditure expectations for major cloud providers being revised up nearly 80% in the past six months for 2026. This wave of investment continues to drive revenue and profit growth in the semiconductor, cloud computing, server, and data center supply chains, leading to increasingly high valuations for AI-related assets. However, unlike the late 1990s, the current risks no longer primarily stem from a pure valuation expansion detached from fundamentals, but increasingly from the market's expectations for the long-term sustainability of high profit margins and capital returns. Goldman Sachs believes that the core contradiction of the AI market is intensifying: fundamentals remain strong, but the market has already priced in too much future earnings.
