SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won said the global shortage of AI memory chips is severe enough that foreign governments have started intervening on behalf of their own industries, and warned that Seoul is likely to face similar pressure.
Chey said customers have asked SK hynix for 60 to 100 percent more AI memory in 2027 than this year. Given AI now accounts for more than half of overall semiconductor consumption, he put total demand growth at a minimum of 50 to 60 percent. Supply is not keeping pace. "No company has meaningful new capacity coming online next year," he said.
