Memory squeeze set to tighten through 2028, Micron says

Micron’s outlook signals that the memory squeeze behind rising server, storage, and PC costs is likely to intensify through 2027 and 2028, prolonging budget pressure for IT organizations and making hardware refreshes more expensive and harder to plan. For CIOs, the strategic response is to prioritize only the most business-critical upgrades, negotiate multiyear pricing where possible, and optimize existing infrastructure so memory is not wasted on overprovisioned workloads.
