recent report reveals that the AI server storage demand far exceeds expectations, with industry giants' production lines running at full capacity. The three major Korean companies - Samsung, SK Hynix, and Nanya - are struggling to meet the increasing orders due to the high demand.
Due to the rapid growth of AI servers in training and inference processes, data transmission and computation put a higher burden on storage. As a result, the global AI server market size is expected to continue its stable and rapid growth, driving the demand for large-capacity QLCC SSDs downstream.
Currently, the prices of enterprise-class SSDs are generally three times higher than general servers. Experts predict that due to high performance and high energy efficiency, enterprise-class SSDs will become the main storage technology in big data storage in the future.
In addition, Korean six-fluoride tungsten (WF6) suppliers have increased prices by 70% to 90% for major semiconductor manufacturers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, DBHiTek and Magnachip. The reasons for this price hike are largely attributed to the rapid increase in tungsten prices.
TECHCET data indicates that global six-fluoride tungsten demand is expected to grow by nearly one-third to around 8901 tons in 2025, with an annual growth rate of 14%. Industry experts predict that the increasing demand for six-fluoride tungsten will drive the development and production of new products.
The report highlights that six-fluoride tungsten has excellent electrical properties and is widely used in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes to create large-scale integrated circuits. As CVD technology continues to evolve, especially with the increasing number of 3D NAND layers, demand for six-fluoride tungsten products is expected to continue growing.
In conclusion, the rapid growth of AI servers and the increasing demand for six-fluoride tungsten have significant implications for the storage industry. As the global supply chain continues to adapt to these changes, manufacturers must be prepared to respond to shifting market trends and emerging technologies.
