Talent, supply chain, and implementing Gen AI cited as top strategic priorities
December 12, 2023 – For the second year in a row, semiconductor executives see the automotive sector as the most important sector driving revenue over the next year according to the results of the 19th Annual KPMG Global Semiconductor Outlook. Artificial Intelligence is a fast follow, placing as the no. 2 most important revenue driver for the first time.
The survey, from KPMG LLP and the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) captured insights in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 172 global semiconductor executives about their outlook for the industry in 2024 and beyond. More than half of the respondents are from companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue.
“The computerization and electrification of automotive vehicles has helped continue to fuel growth across the semiconductor industry – the more advanced the vehicle, the more chips it requires,” said KPMG Global and U.S. Technology, Media & Telecommunications Leader Mark Gibson. “However, AI’s rapid ascension to being a top revenue driver, coupled with executives’ bullish views on Generative AI are a signal it could soon give the automotive sector a run for its money.”
A few highlights:
Executives bullish on the industry at large
Automotive sector continues to fuel expectations
Artificial intelligence jumps to become a top revenue driver
Talent seen as biggest concern for third year in a row
