In 2026, the prices of memory chips skyrocketed, emerging as a key metric within the semiconductor sector. This wave of price increases not only hit a five-year high but also eclipsed the record peak seen in 2018, propelling the global memory market into a 'super bull market' phase. Consequently, the production costs of consumer electronics—including mobile phones, PCs, and household appliances—rose significantly. The rise of AI technology is driving a restructuring of the industrial supply chain and reshaping the fundamental operational logic of the global electronics market.
