Omdia: China Hyperscalers Commercialize AI Amid Export Restrictions but Modern GPUs Remain Limited
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--What are the biggest cloud providers in Asia doing to meet the rising demand for AI inference? Omdia's latest research offers an in-depth look at the evolving challenges of AI inference operations, the key trade-offs between throughput, latency, and support for diverse AI models, and the possible solutions. The report provides detailed coverage of companies such as Huawei, Baidu, Alibaba, ByteDance, Tencent, NAVER, and SK Telecom Enterprise. It examines which GPUs, AI accelerators, and AI-optimized CPUs these companies offer, their pricing, the stockpile of NVIDIA GPUs, their AI service portfolios, and the current status of their own AI models and custom chip projects. Despite heavy stockpiling of NVIDIA H800 and H20 GPUs during 2024 and early 2025, prior to the imposition of US export controls, these high-performance chips are difficult to find in Chinese cloud services, suggesting they are primarily used for the hyperscalers' own model development projects. Similarly, there are relatively few options that use any of the Chinese AI chip projects; exceptions include Baidu's on-premises cloud products and some Huawei Cloud services, although they remain limited. Chinese hyperscale companies are well advanced in adopting best practices such as decoupled prefill and generation and publish seminal research in fundamental AI; however, the research papers often mention that the training runs are carried out using Western GPUs, with a few notable exceptions. 'The real triumph in Chinese semiconductors has been CPUs rather than accelerators,' says Omdia Principal Analyst and author of the report, Alexander Harrowell. 'Chinese Arm-based CPUs are clearly in production at scale and are usually optimized for parallel workloads in a way like Amazon Web Services' Graviton series. Products such as Alibaba's YiTian 710 offer an economically attractive solution for serving the current generation of small AI models such as Alibaba Qwen3 in the enterprise, where the user base is relatively small and workload diversity is high.' If modern GPUs are required, the strongest offering Omdia found was the GPU-as-a-service product SK Telecom is building in partnership with Lambda Labs. Omdia observed significant interest in moving Chinese workloads outside the great firewall in hopes of accessing modern GPUs and potentially additional training data. Among other important findings, nearly all companies now offer models-as-a-service platforms that enable fine-tuning and other customizations, making this one of the most common ways for enterprises to access AI capabilities. Chinese hyperscalers are especially interested in supporting AI applications at the edge. For example, ByteDance, offers a pre-packaged solution to monitor restaurant kitchens and report whether chefs are wearing their hats. ABOUT OMDIA Omdia, part of Informa TechTarget, Inc.

The footwear capital, Abia State, in strategic talks with Yikodeen, West Africa's footwear giant on 10,000-pair daily capacity factory
In a strategic move poised to redefine Africa's manufacturing narrative, Yikodeen Company Limited, the largest safety footwear manufacturer in West Africa, is in high-level discussions with the Government of Abia State on the establishment of a state-of-the-art footwear factory in Aba, Nigeria's renowned footwear capital. This proposed partnership between the Abia State Government and Yikodeen will see the development of a world-class manufacturing facility capable of producing 10,000 pairs of footwear per day, forming the Eastern anchor of Yikodeen's national expansion plan to hit a total of 20,000 pairs daily. The talks are spearheaded by His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti, Executive Governor of Abia State, who hosted Yikodeen's Founder and CEO, Mr. Shamsideen Atunde, at his country home in a meeting that has been described as visionary and deeply inspiring. Yikodeen is a proudly indigenous company with a proven track record of excellence in industrial footwear production. From humble beginnings in 2016, producing just 20 pairs daily, the company has grown into Nigeria's foremost safety footwear manufacturer and largest single exporter of made-in-Nigeria footwear, supplying European markets and global brands. The company's factory in Lagos, Yikodeen Factory 2.0, was recently recommissioned and now stands as the largest in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a production capacity of 2,500 pairs per day. This ultra-modern, ISO-certified facility includes automated QA/QC systems, advanced European machinery, and a skilled workforce of over 350 Nigerians. As a testament to its commitment to domestic industrialisation, Yikodeen also partners with the Lagos State Ministry of Wealth Creation through a dedicated Leather Hub, a 1,000-pairs-per-day facility designed to boost job creation, promote local content, and drive export readiness. Mr. Atunde, reflecting on his visit to Abia State, stated: 'Abia's transformation is undeniable. The Governor's compassion, clarity of vision, and commitment to local development truly moved me. Aba has long been the heartbeat of Nigeria's indigenous footwear craftsmanship. By marrying this legacy with Yikodeen's technology, standards, and global distribution network, we can elevate Aba into a true global industrial hub. My interaction with the Governor gave me renewed hope — that Nigeria can, and indeed will, be great.' The proposed 10,000-pair-per-day facility in Aba will include multi-line production for industrial safety boots, military and paramilitary footwear, school sandals, and slippers. It will be designed with training spaces to upskill over 2,500 local artisans annually, embed international QA/QC systems, and connect directly to Yikodeen's export pipeline. The company is already in advanced talks with international procurement partners looking to increase sourcing from Africa, and the Aba facility will be a key enabler of this ambition. The socio-economic impact of the project is expected to be significant: 2,500 direct jobs for skilled and semi-skilled workers. 2,000 indirect jobs in logistics, maintenance, raw materials supply, and services. Over $20 million in economic activity within two years. Increased use of local leather, rubber, and packaging. Aba-branded products exported under the Made in Nigeria label. A pipeline for youth employment, internships, and entrepreneurship. The partnership is part of Yikodeen's broader vision to establish a pan-African footprint, with upcoming facilities also being developed in Kaduna (to serve military and paramilitary needs) and Ghana (in collaboration with the government). These investments are designed to scale Nigerian manufacturing leadership in footwear across the continent and reduce Africa's dependency on imported personal protective equipment. For Abia State, which has long been the cultural and industrial nucleus of Nigeria's footwear industry, this partnership presents a unique opportunity to institutionalize excellence, formalize artisan networks, and transform local ingenuity into globally competitive manufacturing. 'Governor Otti's administration is focused on rebuilding Aba not just as a market, but as a factory to the world,' said a government representative familiar with the discussions. 'Yikodeen is the right partner at the right time — their success story speaks for itself, and this collaboration aligns with our ambition to industrialise Abia at scale.' The discussions are ongoing, with joint technical assessments already being scheduled to identify suitable land, infrastructure, and logistics requirements for the project. The parties are optimistic that a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed in the coming weeks. At its core, this initiative is more than just an industrial expansion, it is a bold statement about African self-reliance, ingenuity, and economic transformation. With Yikodeen's expertise and Abia's unmatched footwear legacy, a new chapter in Africa's manufacturing history is about to begin, with Aba and Nigeria leading the charge. About Yikodeen Yikodeen Company Limited is Nigeria's leading safety footwear manufacturer, producing protective and performance-driven footwear for industries across oil & gas, construction, agriculture, education, and security. Certified by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and trusted by major corporations, Yikodeen stands as a homegrown champion of industrial excellence, local content, and inclusive economic growth.
