China's two leading memory chipmakers, CXMT and YMTC, are moving closer to the capital market, putting the country's memory industry back under the semiconductor spotlight.

As CXMT and YMTC move toward initial public offerings, other players across China's memory supply chain are also advancing expansion, fundraising, and listing plans. The activity spans memory modules, controller chips, and niche DRAM, underscoring how China's memory industry is evolving from upstream chipmakers into a broader supply chain ecosystem.

Memory supply remains tight, and higher prices have made end markets cautious. Despite that, Apacer Technology CEO Chia-Kun Chang said that foundry shifts by the three major makers are irreversible, meaning DRAM and flash will stay in short supply, and the memory industry will continue to profit at least throughout the first half of 2027.

Strong demand for memory procurement from AI servers continues, and ADATA chairman Simon Chen believes the AI expansion cycle is expected to sustain strong growth for at least another four to five years. As a result, ADATA is adding AI data center construction as a new business focus, working with strategic partners to deploy projects in four countries, including Brazil and Malaysia. The company e

The race to dominate next-generation NAND flash memory has long been measured in layers — and Samsung Electronics appears to be pulling ahead. The South Korean chipmaker has reportedly developed a 900-layer-class V-NAND prototype, a significant leap that brings the memory industry closer to the 1,000-layer threshold as chipmakers intensify efforts to pack more storage into smaller chips while cutt
