## Key points

- Samsung expects memory shortages to deepen in 2027.
- AI data centres are driving manufacturers’ priorities.
- Consumer electronics may face continued supply and price pressure.

## Summary

Samsung says memory supply is likely to tighten further in 2027 as demand from AI data centres grows. The warning matters for consumers because memory makers are prioritising specialist server products, which could keep pressure on prices and availability for gaming PCs and consoles.

In its third-quarter 2026 results, Samsung’s semiconductor segment reported 147.1 trillion won in revenue and 106.5 trillion won in profit, accounting for 72% of the company’s revenue that quarter. Samsung said it had prioritised HBM4 production for AI data centres and plans to build its memory business around long-term contracts and AI-specific products. The article notes that Samsung is one of three major memory makers, cites a report that 2027 capacity had already been sold, and points to recent console shortages and rising used PS5 Pro prices.
