According to a report by Reuters, American memory giant Micron Technology plans to increase its memory chip production capacity in Singapore to address the severe global memory shortage, with an official announcement expected as early as Tuesday (28th). The report indicates that this investment will focus on NAND flash memory.
<h2>Supply Shortage Expected to Last Until 2027</h2>
Currently, about 98% of Micron Technology's global flash memory chips are produced in Singapore, and Micron has previously announced an investment of $7 billion to build an advanced packaging plant in the region, specifically for producing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI chips. This facility is expected to commence production in 2027.
However, market analysts generally believe that despite major manufacturers accelerating production expansion, the global memory supply shortage is unlikely to be fully alleviated until the second half of 2027.
