Analysis
FY2025 Q2 (Jul-Sep 2024): AI infrastructure buildout at unprecedented scale. TSMC leading-edge utilization at record levels for AI chips. HBM wafer demand surging. NVIDIA data center revenue $30.8B in their Oct quarter. Shin-Etsu's semiconductor materials benefiting from tight 300mm wafer supply and premium pricing on advanced wafers. Total revenue ~¥630B (~$4.2B). Semiconductor Materials ~40% = ~¥252B. AI's share of global wafer consumption continues to grow: AI GPUs/TPUs/custom ASICs at leading-edge foundries + HBM at memory fabs. However, the vast majority of Shin-Etsu's wafer output still serves non-AI applications: smartphones remain the largest single end market for wafers, followed by automotive, PC, and industrial. Conservative 4.5%. Math: ¥630B × 4.5% = ~¥28.4B (~$189M) estimated AI revenue.
