From 1 trillion to 2 trillion, doubling in twelve years, semiconductors remain the era's beta

CryptoWorld News: CITIC Securities Research Report points out that geopolitical risks are difficult to suppress the high growth trend in semiconductor demand. Despite the impact of the Middle East crisis, trade uncertainties, and raw material shortages, the growth momentum of semiconductor demand will continue. It is expected that global semiconductor sales will reach $1 trillion this year, doubling to $2 trillion by 2035. Geopolitical risks are unlikely to hinder industry prosperity this year, but raw material shortages may affect long-term prospects, as countries are addressing shortages of key minerals and critical gases such as helium and bromine. Among them, helium prices surged significantly in March due to Middle East tensions, and bromine also faces a shortage risk.
