AI Boom Drives Global RAM Shortage

March 6, 2026

The explosive growth of artificial intelligence applications has triggered a global shortage of RAM chips, sending prices soaring and leaving manufacturers struggling to keep up with demand.

Major AI companies such as OpenAI, Google and Microsoft are consuming enormous amounts of memory in their data centers, leaving less supply available for everyday consumers and smaller businesses.

Analysts predict the shortage could last well into 2027, with RAM prices expected to rise by up to 40% over the next six months.
