Chip "cornerstone" prices rise 60%-70% - Institutions predict that the global semiconductor sputtering target market will reach 251.1 billion yuan by 2027.

According to Data Treasure, in the first quarter of this year, the global semiconductor industry has seen a frenzy of price increases, with over 50 companies intensively adjusting prices, and some high-end AI chips have increased by over 100%. Among them, the "cornerstone" of the chips, semiconductor sputtering targets, has seen the most significant increase, with a 20% increase in conventional targets and a 60% - 70% increase in special small metal targets. According to a report by Frost & Sullivan, the global semiconductor sputtering target market is expected to reach 25.11 billion yuan by 2027.
