Global AI demand the biggest tailwind to Asian exports
The current artificial intelligence (AI) boom might become the biggest tailwind to Asian exports in 2025. 75% of semiconductor production capacity and supplies of key materials are concentrated in Asia, placing the region at the centre of the AI frenzy. The continued strength of AI-related exports is likely to offset the lack of strong tailwinds elsewhere.
