Samsung Raises Memory Chip Prices by 60%, Electronics Costs Expected to Rise
- Cost Increase Warning: Global electronics manufacturers are warning consumers to expect a 5% to 20% rise in electronics prices in 2026 due to memory chip shortages and soaring component costs, impacting consumer purchasing power.
- Surging Demand: Analysts indicate that the expansion of AI data centers has led to an explosion in demand for high-bandwidth memory, prompting chipmakers to focus production on advanced memory chips for AI servers, exacerbating market tightness.
- Supply-Demand Imbalance: Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which control over 70% of the global DRAM market, report that orders for 2026 already exceed production capacity, leading to tight memory chip supplies that affect the availability of consumer electronics.
- Insufficient Long-Term Investment: While Samsung plans to add a production line at its South Korea plant and SK Hynix is building a $91 billion chipmaking cluster, new plant construction takes 2 to 3 years, making price increases for electronics almost inevitable in the short term.
