Development of 2nm and 3nm chips is progressing in Japan's AI SoC manufacturing market, accelerating the country's AI semiconductor efforts, reports say. Applications in automotive electronics, industrial equipment and data processing are expected to expand.
Japan's AI SoC market continues to grow as AI is integrated into automotive electronics, industrial automation, robotics, consumer devices and data processing systems, supported by stronger domestic semiconductor development and production capacity. Market growth is said to be underpinned by rising demand for embedded processing capabilities as AI becomes more widespread, as well as the integration of design and manufacturing by Japanese companies.
There is a view that continued development of highly integrated chips such as 2nm and 3nm will further accelerate Japan's AI semiconductor efforts. This could lead to more advanced AI processing capabilities across device types in Japan.
