Quick numbers
Foxconn (Hon Hai Technology Group), one of the world's largest contract electronics manufacturers and a key partner of Nvidia, reported revenue of about $83 billion in Q4 2025 — up 22% from the same quarter a year earlier and above the analysts' consensus (~$77 billion), which CNBC wrote about.
Why the growth happened
The main driver is demand for server infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Foxconn builds servers for data centers that host AI chips and supplies components for cloud solutions. In 2025 the company signed several major technical partnerships: in November — joint initiatives with OpenAI on next‑generation hardware, and in May — a cooperation with Nvidia and the government of Taiwan on a large‑scale AI factory.
"Revenue growth confirms that investments in AI hardware infrastructure are moving out of the demonstration phase into industrialization,"

What this changes in global supply chains
The shift from pilots to mass production of servers means higher demand for chips, cooling systems, and critical components — and consequently intensified competition for them. For partner countries this has several implications: accelerated implementation of infrastructure projects, increased pressure on logistics, and greater importance of supplier diversification.
Why this matters for Ukraine
For Ukraine, Foxconn's growth is an indicator of two things. First, partners are investing in technological and defense infrastructure: a larger volume of servers and data centers expands capabilities for analytics, intelligence, and operational control. Second, the activation of supply chains creates both risks (competition for critical components) and opportunities (cooperation with supplier alliances, participation in programs to retool production).
"We are strengthening our capacities for manufacturing servers and components for data centers to meet the growing demand for AI hardware platforms,"
— Foxconn press service
Conclusion
Foxconn's numbers are more than a corporate report: they are a marker of large‑scale AI industrialization that is reshaping global supply chains and the technological strength of Ukraine's partners. It is now important that these shifts translate into accessible tools and guarantees for our security — from declarations and memoranda to real contracts and logistical solutions.
