Samsung warns memory chip shortage driven by AI demand may persist until 2028

Samsung has forecast that the ongoing global memory chip shortage is expected to worsen and extend through 2027, with conditions potentially lasting until 2028. The shortfall is being driven primarily by surging demand from AI data centers, which are consuming memory components at an accelerating pace. This sustained pressure on supply is pushing up costs for memory components across the industry. As a result, consumers are likely to see higher retail prices for devices that rely on these chips.
