In a conversation with Reuters, Samsung Co-CEO TM Roh noted that the current DRAM and NAND memory crisis will have a direct impact on the market.
The situation is unprecedented, and its consequences will be felt by both companies and end users.
According to him, the shortage will affect a wide range of products — from smartphones and consumer electronics to household appliances and televisions.
Samsung expects price increases to occur in the near future. The company is in talks with partners and is developing long-term strategies to mitigate the effects of the crisis, but has not yet disclosed specific solutions or timelines.
Samsung's warnings reflect a general industry trend: more and more manufacturers are openly speaking about the pressure on production costs due to the shortage of key components.
