Donghai Securities pointed out that in March 2026, demand in the semiconductor industry remains robust under the influence of AI, with prices continuing to rise. Global semiconductor demand continues to improve, with AI servers and new energy vehicles maintaining rapid growth, while TWS earbuds, wearable wrist devices, and smart home products are also experiencing rapid growth. Demand is expected to continue recovering in April. On the supply side, although corporate inventory levels are high, the high growth in demand from certain sub-sectors driven by AI has led upstream wafer foundries to raise prices. Memory prices continue to rise, and the price increases have spread from memory to other semiconductor areas such as power and analog. AI computing power is the core engine, driving a 26.3% annual growth in global wafer foundry output value by 2025. Although high memory prices may suppress shipments of consumer electronics terminals, AI remains a long-term mainline. Currently, the global geopolitical environment is relatively tense, and in the short term, costs for industries that rely on imports are rising. In the long term, the localization of semiconductors is expected to continue accelerating. Overall, the supply and demand pattern for semiconductors in April is expected to continue improving. The Guotai Consumer Electronics ETF (561310) tracks the Consumer Electronics Index (931494), which selects listed company securities involved in the manufacturing of electronic products such as smartphones, home appliances, and wearable devices from the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets as index samples, reflecting the overall performance of listed company securities related to consumer electronics.
