The rapid growth in humanoid robot production is creating a significant surge in demand for memory chips, particularly DRAM. Each robot requires about ten times the memory of a smart car, and only three companies—Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix—dominate this market. Micron's CEO highlighted a multi-decade memory demand cycle starting in the late 2020s, with supply shortages expected to persist beyond 2027 despite massive investments in new production capacity. Investors are advised to focus on the memory supply chain, especially Micron, rather than trying to pick the winning robot maker, as memory is essential to all humanoid robots regardless of manufacturer.
