With all these applications, artificial intelligence enables businesses to improve operational efficiency, lower operating costs, enhance service quality, and customer experience. Further, the AI Chip market players are focusing on various initiatives to enhance their capabilities and boost its position in the market.
The AI Chip market is fragmented in nature due to the presence of several industries, and the competitive dynamics in the market is expected to change during the upcoming years. In addition, various initiatives are undertaken by the governmental bodies to accelerate the AI Chip market further. For instance, the governments of various countries in this region are trying to attract FDI in the technology sector with the increasing need for enhanced technology-related services. For instance, China's government relaxed the restrictions on new entries with an objective to encourage overseas and private capital to invest in its economy. Moreover, in developing countries, irregular taxation policies on businesses lead to stagnation when it comes to advanced technologies. For instance, in the Asia Pacific region, China levies heavy taxes on any businesses which are from outside China, which makes it difficult for businesses to invest. Also, it affects other OEMs in the Asia Pacific region, and this will, in turn, impact the growth of AI Chip market.
On the basis of type, GPU market led the Asia Pacific AI Chip market in 2018 with a maximum market share and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. Presently in artificial intelligence applications, Graphics Processing Units or GPUs are the most widely used hardware.
