📉 DRAM and HBM Memory Shortages Slow AI Spending Growth

AI spending growth is slowing due to a shortage of DRAM and HBM memory production capacity. It is projected that by 2027, AI spending could exceed spending on traditional IT systems for the first time.

🌍 The memory shortage is becoming a major structural barrier for AI infrastructure. The market may shift toward revenue growth driven by price increases on existing HBM volumes instead of a massive increase in supply.

👤 The AI boom is facing physical chip production constraints. This could lead to rising server equipment prices and a slowdown in the deployment of new capacity.
