SK Hynix to Double Wafer Capacity Amid AI Memory Shortage

SK Hynix plans to double its memory-chip wafer production capacity over the next five years.

The company says AI-related memory shortages could persist through 2030, and its output is already sold out through 2026.

The expansion is backed by major investments and equipment orders as demand for high-bandwidth memory stays strong.

The move could help ease AI chip supply constraints while strengthening SK Hynix’s position in the AI hardware chain.
