Nvidia’s AI chip sales in China stall, as local chipmakers like Huawei take the lead

Bernstein estimates Nvidia’s share could fall to 8% this year as Huawei’s rises to 50%, underscoring China’s shift toward domestic chips.

  • Bernstein analysts predict California-based Nvidia's market share in China will shrink to around 8% this year, while Huawei's share will likely grow to about 50%, marking a major shift in domestic AI chip dominance.
  • Washington's export controls on advanced technology in 2019 forced Chinese semiconductor makers to pursue self-sufficiency, prompting Beijing to encourage domestic alternatives like Huawei's Ascend series over foreign chips.
  • Technical assessments suggest Huawei's Ascend chips are roughly comparable to Nvidia's H200, while Huawei's head of semiconductor business Tingbo claims they have 'found pretty good solutions.'
  • Nvidia 'has definitely lost significant ground to Huawei, which leads domestically,' said Antonia Hmaidi of the Mercator Institute for China Studies, despite global revenue reaching nearly $216 billion.
  • The race between the United States and China to develop artificial intelligence intensifies as companies like DeepSeek drive demand for improved chip performance and domestic self-sufficiency.
