Galen Zeng — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本IDC市場簡報將深入剖析半導體供應鏈的發展展望。

在半導體供應鏈中，Fabless、Foundry與OSAT分別涵蓋IC設計、製造與封裝，是共同完成IC產品的上游、中游與下游業者。隨著chipset系統架構持續發展，先進封裝亦成為完成此一架構不可或缺的環節。本報告將分析IC設計、晶圓代工、封裝測試與先進封裝，並探討產業面臨的挑戰與機會，為業界提供前瞻性的觀察。

IDC資深研究經理曾冠瑋表示：「2026年在AI與HPC需求大幅成長的帶動下，半導體市場已進入結構性成長週期。在先進製程產能滿載、晶圓價格全面進入上升循環，以及AI封裝需求創下新高的支撐下，Fabless、Foundry、OSAT與先進封裝產業預期在2026年均將呈現雙位數成長。展望2027年，我們預期AI基礎建設投資仍將是主要成長引擎，先進封裝產能亦將持續快速擴張，為半導體供應鏈帶來新一輪的市場機會。」

IDC Survey: AI-Enabled Water Management Trends, 2026

Bjoern Stengel — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey discusses how water management is now a top ESG-AI priority for 22.5% of organizations, up from 18.9% in 2024 — a 19% relative increase, although growth is far from evenly spread. IDC Survey: AI-Enabled Water Management Trends, 2026, based on IDC’s 2026 AI and Sustainability Survey (n = 1,570; weighted) and IDC’s 2024 AI and Sustainability Survey (n = 1,390), finds that process manufacturing (43.7%), financial and investment services (40.4%), and accommodation and restaurants (34.6%) lead AI-for-sustainability investment in water management, while traditionally water-intensive industries — utilities and oil and gas — rank near the bottom of the 24 industries profiled.

Predictive AI is the leading modality across five of the six industry case studies detailed in the document, and AI investment concentrates upstream, in environmentally sustainable manufacturing and sourcing, rather than at the point of consumption. The document also profiles six industries in depth, examines buyer psychology and decision-maker ownership by sector, and provides vendor-selection guidance for technology providers targeting water-focused AI-for-sustainability buyers.

This document is an essential read for sustainability, ESG, and AI product strategy leaders assessing where water-management AI demand concentrates in 2026.

IDC Survey: Agentic Enterprise Transformation Professional Services. Part 1: The State of Agentic Enterprise Transformation

Jennifer Thomson, Eren Eser — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey presentation examines how organizations worldwide are planning, investing, and scaling agentic enterprise transformation, from where they sit on the maturity journey and which capabilities they are building first, to how much they are budgeting and how governance and accountability are being structured.

This presentation is based on IDC's 2026 Agentic Enterprise Transformation Professional Services Survey, July 2026, which focuses on agentic enterprise transformation priorities, strategies, and investment for 2026 and 2027. Findings are drawn from a multicountry data set spanning IT, AI operations, data, and line-of-business functions across North America, EMEA, and Asia/Pacific, covering organizations with 250 or more employees, all at the director level or above, and already evaluating, piloting, or running AI agents in production.

These findings can be used to understand how organizations are approaching agentic enterprise transformation. The survey examined where organizations sit on the transformation journey and which foundational capabilities they are building first, along with the transformation goals and business domains they will prioritize over the next 12 months. It also captured planned professional services spend across 2026 and 2027 and where budget authority sits, as well as the outcomes organizations are realizing and the barriers slowing pilot-to-production and post-deployment optimization.

This is Part 1 of a three-part series: Part 1 focuses on the state of agentic enterprise transformation, Part 2 examines the professional services opportunity, and Part 3 examines provider selection criteria and competitive dynamics.
