AI and chip shortage impact device costs
Memory and storage price forecasts have increased due to rising demand for chips needed to run artificial intelligence models and data centers. This has put pressure on supply chains and led to higher production costs for computers and smartphones. Prices for these devices are expected to rise by approximately 17% for computers and 13% for phones by 2026. This may cause consumers to delay purchases, especially within lower-income groups, and could lead to a potential decline in global device shipments during the same year, as companies focus more on AI products and servers. The data indicates that the crisis is not just a prediction but is already beginning to impact the market, with shortages of memory components expected to persist until the end of the decade.
