Global Memory Chip Shortage Expected to Persist Through 2028, Impacting Prices
Global memory chip shortages are expected to continue through 2028, extending a boom for Korean manufacturers Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. US-based Micron Technology reported strong demand, with over 75% of its 2027 production committed and multi-year customer agreements through 2031. Rising demand, particularly from AI data centers requiring high-bandwidth memory, is tightening supply and contributing to higher prices. Industry leaders warn this could increase costs for devices like smartphones, which have already seen price rises due to component shortages.
