The electronics industry was a major driver of industrial profit growth. In the first three quarters, its profits doubled from a year earlier, contributing 9.6 percentage points to total profit growth and providing strong support for the overall expansion. Among subsectors, robust demand for AI computing power and advanced memory technologies boosted profitability. Profits of manufacturers of electronic specialty materials surged 220 percent, while those of semiconductor discrete devices increased 51.7 percent year on year. Meanwhile, high-tech manufacturing continued to outperform the broader industrial sector. Its profits rose 52 percent year on year. Growth was particularly strong in industries linked to computing infrastructure and data center construction, including optical fiber, optical cable and computer equipment manufacturing, whose profits rose by 5.7 and 1.1 times respectively. Profits in computer peripheral devices manufacturing and computer manufacturing rose 2.8-fold and 1.7-fold, respectively. The raw materials manufacturing sector also maintained robust momentum, with profits up 44.9 percent from a year earlier.
