However, demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) is expected to rapidly expand from Nvidias graphics processing units (GPUs) to AI accelerators developed by large tech companies like Google. Josephine Lou, an industry analyst at the French market research firm Yole Group, stated at the 2026 Future Memory & Storage Conference in California on August 4th that South Korea will maintain its leading position in the memory industry until 2031. Lou pointed out that South Korea plans to double its wafer capacity within the next five years, and Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have also increased their investments. Analysts indicate that as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix simultaneously expand their next-generation DRAM (including HBM) and NAND production capacity and technology development, South Koreas advantage will continue.Precious metal futures contracts collectively strengthened, with Shanghai Gold 2610 rising 1.65% to 897.64 yuan/gram.
