Major semiconductor manufacturers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are adopting multi-year long-term agreements (LTAs) with leading U.S. AI cloud providers to stabilise supply amid surging AI-driven demand, shifting the industry from cyclical spot market sales to contract-based steady revenue.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.
