Samsung, one of the world’s largest memory and storage manufacturers, says the industry’s memory component shortage is unlikely to ease soon. In recent remarks tied to its earnings outlook, the company indicates that the shortfall is expected to continue into 2027 and that conditions may worsen during that period. Multiple outlets report that Samsung expects supplies to remain constrained and that the broader “crisis” does not improve in the near term.
TechRadar and other coverage say Samsung’s warning extends into 2028, suggesting the shortage could last until then. Eurogamer similarly reports that Samsung expects the situation to keep deteriorating into next year. Rock Paper Shotgun adds that the company also frames the outlook as meaning components will keep becoming more expensive rather than returning to normal availability.
Taken together, the reporting reflects a consistent message from Samsung: industry memory supply conditions remain tight, with no immediate expectation of a turnaround in 2026 or 2027, and potentially a prolonged period of scarcity into 2028.
