Samsung Narrows SK hynix Lead in High-Bandwidth Memory Market as HBM4 Shipments Rise
Samsung Electronics increased its global high-bandwidth memory (HBM) revenue share to 33% in Q2, narrowing the gap with market leader SK hynix, which held 50%. Samsung's share rose from 21% in Q1 due to expanded shipments of its latest HBM products, including the sixth-generation HBM4. SK hynix leads with strong ties to Nvidia for HBM3 and HBM3E, but Samsung expects HBM4 to drive further gains as AI processor demand grows in the second half of the year.
