Samsung expects the global memory shortage to worsen through 2027 and persist until 2028. The shortage is being driven by high demand from AI data centers, which are fueling a multi-year chip shortage. As a result, component costs are increasing, leading to higher retail prices for devices. The prolonged shortage is likely to impact the tech industry and consumers for several years.
