Samsung Warns of Memory Chip Shortage Amid AI Demand Shifting Market Dynamics
Samsung warns that a global memory chip shortage will worsen in 2027 and continue into 2028, driven by rising demand for advanced AI chips like High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). This shift reduces production of standard consumer memory chips, potentially increasing prices for smartphones and laptops. Meanwhile, the AI boom is altering market dynamics, giving chipmakers more pricing power and reducing leverage for major buyers like Apple, which now faces competition from companies such as Nvidia and Qualcomm for advanced memory supplies.
