The global RAM shortage is set to persist for years, with Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra warning investors that the company has already sold the majority of its production capacity through 2025, indicating a prolonged period of scarcity that could extend as far as 2028. This grim outlook is largely attributed to unprecedented demand from artificial intelligence (AI) applications, which are consuming vast quantities of memory, alongside a broader recovery in demand across various sectors. Micron’s statement suggests that the current supply chain constraints and the sheer scale of AI’s memory requirements are creating a bottleneck that will take significant time to overcome, impacting everything from consumer electronics to data centers and potentially driving up prices for consumers and businesses alike.
