Research powerhouse IDC forecasts that a notable uptick in memory demand, driven by AI-enabled computers and data centers, will trigger a worldwide RAM supply shortage, subsequently sending memory prices soaring. This domino effect is poised to result in a considerable 12.9% downturn in global smartphone shipments by 2026, marking the steepest decline in over a decade. Based on IDC's most recent figures, manufacturers are projected to ship roughly 1.26 billion smartphones in 2025, a stark contrast to the estimated 1.12 billion units expected to be shipped this year.
