Murata Manufacturing is planning to increase its capital expenditure by 50% to ¥270 billion ($1.83 billion) for the fiscal year ending March 2026, anticipating a surge in demand for AI-powered devices to drive long-term growth. Electronics giant Foxconn reported a likely 14% increase in second-quarter profits, attributed to rising AI demand as the company expands beyond iPhone production amid global trade uncertainties. Meanwhile, Thailand's Delta Electronics, the country's most valuable publicly traded company, forecasts continued double-digit sales growth over the next few years, driven by increasing demand for AI-related technology. These developments reflect a broader industry trend of electronics manufacturers betting on AI to sustain growth through the end of the decade.
