Bank of America: SK Hynix’s New Capacity by 2028 May Only Be One-Sixth of Original Plan

Odaily Planet Daily News Bank of America released a report stating that due to technology upgrades leading to the closure of older fabs, South Korea’s average annual wafer capacity growth will be below 10%, far short of the official target of doubling capacity by 2030. SK Hynix’s new memory capacity by 2028 may only be one-sixth of the original plan. Additionally, the construction and equipment installation cycles for new large-scale fabs planned by Samsung and SK Hynix in Gwangju and Jeolla could be extended to ten years. (Jin Shi)
