AI Chips Today - AI Infrastructure Surge Driving Market Growth

The AI data center industry is rapidly expanding from niche buildouts into a highly capital-intensive sector, driven by the need for advanced infrastructure to support macro model training and inference. This shift is characterized by competition for GPUs, energy capacity, cooling systems, and long-term power contracts, as these requirements push AI infrastructure spending to new heights. With an investment prediction reaching up to $5.2 trillion by 2030, according to McKinsey & Co., public markets are increasingly focused on the physical infrastructure that underpins AI technologies. The emergence of "neoclouds" and infrastructure-adjacent platforms highlights the ongoing transformation as companies adapt to meet the demand for scalable AI environments. As investors show increased interest, valuation multiples in AI infrastructure reflect confidence in long-term growth potential within this evolving landscape.In other market news, Xi'an ESWIN Material Technology (SHSE:688783) was trading firmly up 3.2% and finishing the session at CN¥23.80.
