SK Hynix says the memory-chip shortage will last until 2030—and more than half its production is booked for the next two years
SK Hynix forecasts memory-chip shortage extending to 2030, reports record quarterly revenue.
“SK Hynix generated $78.3 billion in quarterly revenue, its highest-ever quarterly total.”
Why it matters
SK Hynix's 2030 shortage forecast and two-year booking backlog lock in memory pricing for years. Chip designers and system builders lose pricing power and must commit to uncertain future costs, while competitors race to expand non-volatile memory capacity.
