South Korean company Samsung Electronics Co. has officially reached a market capitalisation of $1 trillion, becoming the second tech giant in Asia after TSMC to hit this milestone.

This was reported by Bloomberg.

The all-time high was recorded on Wednesday following a 13% surge in the company’s shares. This rise not only strengthened Samsung’s position but also, for the first time in history, pushed the national Kospi index above the psychological threshold of 7,000 points. Analysts attribute this success to the manufacturer’s critical role in providing infrastructure for AI.

According to market experts, reaching this milestone signals a shift in investors’ perception of the memory industry. It is now viewed not as a cyclical business dependent on seasonal demand for gadgets, but as a fundamental and structural element of the global artificial intelligence ecosystem, providing the necessary computing power.

Alongside Samsung, other players in the region, notably SK Hynix and TSMC, are also posting record figures. This is transforming Asia into the world’s leading hub for microchip production, where dominance in chip manufacturing is coupled with the rapid expansion of data storage and processing infrastructure.
