The year 2026 is set to mark a pivotal juncture for the global memory and storage market. The burgeoning demand for generative artificial intelligence, large - scale model training, and inference operations is propelling data centers to gobble up memory resources at a pace never seen before. As per the most recent industry report, by 2026, data centers are projected to consume around 70% of the world's memory chips. This will drastically shrink the available supply of memory chips for personal computers, smartphones, and consumer electronics, creating a significant squeeze in these sectors.
