South Korea's chip exports are projected to reach unprecedented levels in May, driven by robust semiconductor demand and increased AI infrastructure investments. According to Lee Kyoung-min, an analyst at Daishin Securities, investor confidence has been bolstered by these factors, alongside recent gains in Wall Street tech stocks. Government data reveals that chip exports surged nearly 150% year-over-year in the first 10 days of May, totaling a record $8.54 billion.
