North America remains a major hub for the global AI chip industry, supported by advanced semiconductor technologies, leading AI chip companies, hyperscaler investment, and government initiatives such as the CHIPS Act.

The market is estimated to have registered a CAGR of 37.75% from 2023 to 2026, supported by higher AI compute requirements, expanding data centre capacity, and wider deployment of GPUs, ASICs, AI accelerators, and advanced memory technologies. Adoption of generative AI, machine learning, computer vision, defence AI, and enterprise AI is further strengthening regional demand for AI chips.

Key Drivers Shaping the North America AI Chip Market

• Rising Data Centre Power Demand Drives AI Chip Deployment -  According to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, data centres could account for 11.8% of total United States electricity consumption by the end of the decade, with projected scenarios ranging from 9.5% to 15.3%. This anticipated increase reflects the rapid expansion of AI-driven computing infrastructure and supports demand for high-performance AI chips.

• CHIPS Act Investment Strengthens Domestic AI Semiconductor Manufacturing - United States semiconductor manufacturing capacity is expanding through the CHIPS Act. In 2025, the CHIPS Program Office invested USD 39 billion to rebuild the domestic semiconductor manufacturing base. Planned investment in United States semiconductor manufacturing has reached nearly USD 450 billion, supporting advanced fabs, packaging, equipment, and AI chip supply chains.

• Advanced Packaging and HBM Capacity Support AI Processors - Demand for AI accelerators is driving investment in advanced packaging and high-bandwidth memory technologies in the United States. In 2025, the CHIPS National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program finalised USD 1.4 billion in awards, while SK hynix invested approximately USD 3.87 billion in Indiana in an AI memory packaging plant and advanced packaging R&D facility, strengthening the domestic AI chip supply chain.

• Mexico's Plan México Supports Semiconductor and Nearshoring Opportunities - In 2025, Mexico's Plan México identified strategic industries for investment and sought to strengthen domestic and regional manufacturing. By encouraging investment in advanced manufacturing, the initiative supported Mexico's broader nearshoring opportunity and its integration into North American electronics and semiconductor supply chains.

• Canada's Sovereign AI Compute Strategy Expands Domestic AI Chip Demand - In 2024, Canada launched its CAD 2 billion Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Strategy, including up to CAD 700 million for AI data centres and CAD 705 million for a Canadian-owned AI supercomputing system. The strategy was designed to expand domestic compute capacity and support demand for advanced AI processors, accelerators, and memory.
