Nvidia's market share for data-centre AI chips in China dropped to 34% in H1 2026 due to US export restrictions, while Huawei increased shipments to 572,000 chips and gained a 28% market share. Chinese policies promoting domestic chipmakers and restrictions on Nvidia imports are shifting the AI chip market towards local suppliers and non-GPU accelerators.
