The world's second-largest memory chipmaker is publicly signaling that current production capacity won't keep pace with AI infrastructure buildout. SK Hynix manufactures the DRAM and NAND flash that power data centers, and their CEO has outlined an explicit timeline for where supply breaks down into the 2030s. The shortage will likely accelerate reshoring policies, unlock capital for new fabs, and give established manufacturers pricing power as cloud providers and AI companies compete for capacity.
