RAM Shortage Expected to Persist Through 2028, Executives Warn

Industry executives are forecasting a continued shortage of Random Access Memory (RAM) that is likely to extend through 2028. This outlook is based on current market trends and pricing signals for future memory modules.

Evidence of the anticipated scarcity is already visible in the forward market, with prices for RAM scheduled for delivery in 2027 significantly higher than those for 2026. This suggests that demand is expected to outpace supply for an extended period, impacting the availability and cost of devices that rely on this crucial component.
