Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Buildout Driving Explosive Demand for AGY Specialty Glass Fiber

AGY projects global demand for Low Dk and Low Df Specialty Glass Fibers to triple over the next six Years, fueled by growth in AI equipment.

AIKEN, SOUTH CAROLINA / ACCESS Newswire / February 26, 2025 / AGY, a USA-based global leader in high-performance glass fiber technologies, today announced its projection that global demand for specialty glass fibers used for high-speed electronic equipment will triple over the next six years driven by the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and the associated demand for advanced electronic components required to support AI-based systems.

The expansion of AI technologies is revolutionizing industries such as healthcare and automotive, with sophisticated electronics forming the foundation of this transformation. AGY's Low Dk and Low Df glass fibers are critical for enhancing the performance, durability, and reliability of components like semiconductor packaging, high-performance printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic systems, and high-speed telecommunications equipment.

"As artificial intelligence continues to expand globally, the infrastructure supporting AI - from data centers to edge computing devices - increasingly requires robust, high-efficiency materials," said Al Ridilla, CEO of AGY. "Our high-performance glass fibers deliver the advanced mechanical and thermal properties needed to sustain the complex electronics driving AI systems. We are committed to innovating and scaling our production to meet the growing demand of the rapidly evolving electronics market."

Key Drivers of Growth

The growth in AI is accelerating the deployment of high-performance computing (HPC) systems, advanced telecommunications equipment, and data storage solutions - all of which benefit from AGY's specialty glass fibers. Factors fueling this demand include:

• AI Infrastructure Expansion: The global proliferation of AI-powered data centers, autonomous systems, and edge devices

• Increased Data Processing Requirements: The need for faster, more efficient data processing solutions, including GPUs and high-capacity memory systems, which drives demand for high-performance glass fibers

• High-Capacity Memory Demands: The need for reliable memory storage systems increases as data volume grows, requiring sustained performance under extreme conditions.

AGY's Low Dk and Low Df glass fibers are engineered to perform optimally in high-temperature and high-frequency environments, making them ideal for next-generation electronics that demand consistent performance in challenging conditions.

"Our objective is to remain at the cutting edge of technological advancement," added Ridilla. "Our glass fiber is a cornerstone of the evolving electronics industry, and we are proud to be both American based and American made. As demand for AI technology accelerates through large projects like Stargate that was recently announced by the Trump Administration, AGY is poised to play a vital role in supporting the infrastructure that enables AI innovation."
