메모리 및 저장장치 기술 시장(2027-2037년)

The global memory and storage market is undergoing the most severe supply-demand dislocation in its history, and the conventional cycle no longer describes it. Artificial intelligence has broken the industry's oldest rule - that prices fall as new capacity arrives. DRAM revenue grew 144% in 2026 on bit-supply growth of only around 16%, and contract prices for conventional DRAM rose as much as 95% in a single quarter against a historical peak of roughly 35%. Total memory and storage revenue approximately doubles from 2025 to 2026. The mechanism is structural rather than speculative. High Bandwidth Memory consumes roughly three times the wafer area per bit of a conventional DDR5 die once through-silicon-via overhead, known-good-die loss and base-die area are accounted for. As manufacturers concentrate production on HBM for its profitability, HBM rises from around a fifth of DRAM wafer starts toward 40% by 2037 - squeezing conventional DRAM and NAND supply without any producer deciding to reduce it. Producers are currently meeting only half to two-thirds of core customer demand, HBM is sold out through end-2027, and hard disk capacity is sold out for 2026.

Relief is physically impossible in the near term. Samsung and SK hynix have committed a combined ₩800 trillion ($518 billion) to new Korean fabs, Micron has raised planned US spending above $250 billion, and SK hynix is building a $4 billion HBM packaging facility in Indiana - but a new memory fab requires a minimum of three years to first output and five to seven to reach full capacity. Because every producer is expanding against the same signal, the resulting supply lands within a single window, and the market corrects sharply from 2029 to a trough in 2030 before resuming bit-led growth.

Demand itself does not contract in any year. AI inference has installed a permanent floor: test-time scaling, long-context reasoning and agentic workloads have restructured the memory hierarchy downward, pushing data out of GPU memory into CPU RAM and into an entirely new SSD context tier. Meanwhile, embedded flash's inability to scale below 28nm makes the migration to MRAM, ReRAM and ferroelectric memory a matter of timing rather than choice. Memory has ceased to be a commodity input and become strategic infrastructure - priced, contracted and allocated accordingly.

The Global Memory and Storage Technology Market 2027-2037 is a comprehensive analysis of the global memory and storage industry through a full cycle - the AI-driven supercycle of 2026-2028, the capacity-led correction of 2029-2030, and the bit-led recovery that follows. The report combines rebased revenue forecasts anchored to reported 2026 producer results with detailed technology roadmaps, manufacturing capacity analysis, pricing models and 173 company profiles.

Forecasts are provided annually from 2026 to 2037 across every technology, application and region, with revenue decomposed into bit growth and average selling price so that cyclical and structural drivers can be separated. The report includes upside, base and downside scenarios, a ten-point risk register, wafer-capacity and supply-demand balance modelling, node-migration yield and cost curves, and a full technology-readiness assessment for every emerging memory candidate.
