According to reports from Yonhap News Agency Infomax and the US Consumer News and Business Channel, SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won predicted that next year the memory chip industry will experience the worst supply shortage in history. On the 13th local time, Choi Tae-won said bluntly in an interview: “Next year is likely to be the year with the biggest gap in the supply of memory chips. We are making every effort to expand our production capacity and secure our share in the storage market.” When asked if he plans to build a storage fab in the US, Choi Tae-won responded, “We are willing to go to the US to build a factory. The challenge right now is to find a suitable location.” Choi Tae-won explained, “All countries want to launch memory chip factories locally. As long as the local community can provide sufficient water, stable electricity, usable land, and a complete semiconductor industry ecosystem, we can build factories anywhere.” Reports show that SK Hynix is building its first US factory, and the project is expected to be completed in 2028. However, this plant in Indiana with an investment of 4 billion dollars is mainly used for sealing and testing business, but it does not manufacture wafer front-end.
