KRChina's Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) is planning a significant expansion of its NAND flash memory production, aiming to increase output by nearly 25% in 2027. The company's third plant in Wuhan is expected to drive most of this growth, increasing annual output from 90,000 to 575,000 wafers. While South Korean giants Samsung and SK hynix are also expanding, their major NAND capacity increases are not expected until 2028. YMTC has already surpassed Japanese competitor Kioxia in shipment volume and aims to become the world's largest NAND supplier by 2027, potentially challenging Samsung and SK hynix. Analysts warn that the accelerated expansion could lead to price pressures as new supply enters the market, though weak consumer demand may temper these effects.
