Pegatron chairman T.H. Tung said the Federal Reserve's 25-basis-point cut matched market expectations and would inject more liquidity into financial markets, supporting equities, real estate, and other assets in what he described as a brief global upswing.
The DIGITIMES third quarter 2025 global EMS/ODM ranking highlights a rapidly transforming manufacturing landscape, driven by AI-server demand, shifting device cycles, and the rise of robotics as a new growth frontier. While Taiwanese EMS/ODM leaders continue to dominate AI-server production, Chinese firms are aggressively charting their next phase of expansion by entering the robotics and embodied-intelligence hardware market. Two companies at the center of this transition are Lingyi iTech and Lens Technology, both of which are extending their manufacturing capabilities into robotics components, applications, and integrated systems.
With third-quarter 2025 earnings now in, DIGITIMES' latest global EMS/ODM rankings point to a turning of the tide: generative AI is triggering a structural shift that is reshaping the balance of power across the global electronics manufacturing supply chain.
