The burgeoning demand for AI semiconductors is fueling a rapid expansion in the glass substrate market. South Korean behemoths like Samsung Electro-Mechanics and LG Innotek are proactively formulating strategic blueprints (replacing the less idiomatic "lay-out") to cement their dominance in this nascent sector. Intel's exit from the fray, coupled with its licensing of glass core substrate technology, has paved the way for companies such as Samsung Electro-Mechanics. Samsung Electro-Mechanics has enlisted seasoned experts to propel its business forward and is gearing up to initiate mass production. Meanwhile, LG Innotek is constructing a state-of-the-art smart factory, aiming to elevate its business to the trillion-won echelon by 2030. The global glass substrate market is poised for sustained growth, with projections indicating that the market size will soar to tens of billions of US dollars by 2025.
