AI infrastructure and cloud demand are driving strong memory consumption, with Micron’s HBM output reportedly sold out for 2026. Analysts cited multi-year agreements and take-or-pay structures, including more than $100 billion in memory contracts over the next several years, as making demand and revenue more durable. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said memory demand is growing about 200% annually and that memory availability is limiting AI build-outs. HBM supply is expected to remain constrained through 2027, while hyperscaler spending continues to broaden beyond GPUs into memory and storage.
