Samsung Electronics has secured approximately 80% of its memory chip production capacity for 2025 through long-term supply agreements. Industry sources indicate that these agreements, which encompass High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), have been made with global technology giants including Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft.
The secured supply periods are generally for five years or more, reflecting a broader shift in the AI hardware supply chain. The semiconductor sector is accelerating its transition from traditional spot transactions to a more order-driven model with greater certainty.
Samsung has previously acknowledged strong demand from core customers for long-term supply contracts, noting difficulties in fully meeting all such requests. This demand highlights the critical need to ensure component availability for ongoing AI development.
Other major memory chip manufacturers, such as SK Hynix and Micron Technology, have also entered into significant long-term supply agreements with their key clients. The widespread adoption of these long-term deals aligns with the urgent need for supply chain stability among tech giants and helps suppliers mitigate the risks associated with substantial capital investments.
