MediaTek expects billions in AI chip revenue by 2027

MEDIATEK INC expects to generate multiple billions of dollars from AI accelerator chips by 2027 as data center demand accelerates in Taiwan. The chip designer raised its 2027 market estimate for data center ASIC chips to a range of $70 billion to $80 billion. This outlook signals that the AI infrastructure build-out remains the primary growth driver for semiconductor architects despite cooling mobile handset demand.

### Data Center Demand Offsets Mobile Slump MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai told investors during a late morning earnings call on April 30 that the AI megatrend shows no signs of slowing. Tsai noted that demand for data centers is growing and accelerating, positioning the firm to capture a larger share of the specialized chip market.
