NvidiaCounts H20 are likely to return to China, but technical experts do not expect that they will meet the same fanfare in the market in light of new competition and control.
Last month, the Trump administration gave Nvidia that it is allowed to resume the sale of H20 to China after their exports were effective in April. He also announced a new “completely compatible” made for China chip.
This step was regarded as a huge victory for the company that marked billion In losses from the policy. But while the H20s can return to the Chinese market, which does not mean that Nvidia will restore its former market share, analysts cautious.
The recent Global Research Equity Research report and Bernstein brokerage firm that AI Nvidia chips in China will decrease to 54% in 2025, with 66% per year.
This drop is only partially borrowed from complications with restoration chips as Chinese chips from AI capture more violent domestic market.
“The US export control has created a unique opportunity for domestic processors of II because they do not compete with the most advanced global alternatives,” Bernstein said, noting that Chinese players such as Huawei, Cambricon and Hygon. “The Chinese AI localization ratio will increase from 17% in 2023 to 55% to 2027.”
Other analysts, such as the CEO of Futurum Group Daniel Newman, were more bullies about the Nvidia rebound in China. However, it also indicated the potential market erosion from Nvidia customers that could find success in Chinese competitors while the H20 control was in place.
It should also be noted that Bernstein’s forecasts believe that broader US chips will remain largely unchanged. This creates dynamics when Chinese companies continue to develop and offer modern chips, possibly blurring the demand for outdated US supps.
Further relaxation?
On the eve of the H20 restrictions, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Juan lobbies greater access to China, saying that the control over export management hinders the US technology management.
While Trump administration officials said the rollback was part of the trade negotiations, analysts repeated the Nvidia’s main argument that CHIP control for the Chinese market should mitigate, creating more dependent on US technology proposals.
“The assumption is that by supporting US technology companies in Chinese game, the US can keep and even grow a geopolitical lever,” said CNBC Reva Goujon, director of Rhodium Group.
In A report Last month, Rhodium Group stated that this logic could see the administration go to the approach to the “sliding scale” to export restrictions that can allow us to make chips to China and other Chinese manufacturers, continue to upgrade.
However, while Chinese developers AI will be pleased to increase access to NVIDIA chips, Beijing does not expect to slow their efforts to direct companies to AI’s home infrastructure, Goujon reports.
She noted that the cyberspace is Chinese Latest summons Nvidia was a clear signal of the state’s intention to intervene on the local infrastructure market.
New Beijing close control?
According to the Chinese Cyberspace Administration, on Thursday, Nvidia met with Beijing officials regarding the problems of national security, including potential rear bills that would allow the parties to access or control them.
The relocation in Beijing appeared in response, at least in part, to the new laws proposed in the US, which will require semiconductor companies such as NVIDIA to include security mechanisms and location checking in their advanced chips. Later, Nvidia denied that his chip had a “back bill” that would allow external access or control.
According to Newman Futurum, this step in Beijing was also an attempt to create some fluctuations among Chinese developers who seek to acquire a new H20S.
“China wants to leave some leverage in place to potentially limit the Ai -chip at some point when and when it feels that its technology is really competitive,” Newman said.
Beijing has previously restricted US builders in China amid intensive technology and trade tensions between the two countries. For example, Micron Technology did not receive a cybersecurity review in 2023 and was further blocked from a critical IT infrastructure.
“The constant complexity of trade relations in China and the US can bring additional complications (for NVIDIA) as negotiations are ongoing and when China is trying to secure its own AI strategy,” Newman added.
