Samsung Expects the Chip Shortage to Get Worse Before It Gets Better

Samsung said the memory chip shortage is likely to worsen before improving, with no major relief expected until 2028.

Executives blamed surging AI demand and expanding data center needs for tightening supply, especially in 2027.

Unmet demand is being pushed into future years, which could keep chip prices and component costs elevated.

The shortage may continue to pressure prices and margins for phones, laptops, and other consumer devices.
