# Guotai Asset Management flags semiconductor equipment upside as AI capex seen hitting USD 1.5 trillion in 2025

-   Guotai Asset Management said China’s semiconductor equipment segment is gaining momentum, citing storage capacity expansion as a near-term catalyst. \* The firm flagged unconfirmed market chatter on accelerated storage buildouts, with equipment moving into fabs and new framework orders expected. \* It expects 2025 global AI capex to reach USD 1.5 trillion, up 73%, extending a multi-year demand tailwind for chips. \* Guotai sees domestic equipment demand supported by both storage expansion and longer-term “self-reliance” investment priorities. \* It said Federal Reserve rate-hike uncertainty could create entry points, with valuation pressure likely to ease once hikes are finalized.
