DRAM export prices from South Korea have surged 497% over the past year, driven by soaring demand for AI infrastructure memory. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron control 95% of global DRAM supply, making them critical players as AI servers require massive memory for data processing. Despite rising costs, AI growth is unlikely to slow significantly, but memory makers stand to gain substantial profits. Investors should watch how long high prices persist before new supply eases the crunch.
