"Memory shortages will persist well into 2027. While we anticipate some easing of prices beginning in 2028, the market is unlikely to return to the pricing levels seen in 2025."
"The International Data Corporation further cut its forecasts for the PC market in 2026, anticipating that global shipments would fall 11.6 percent. The previous report projected that this year would see a falloff of up to 8.9 percent due to ongoing memory shortages."
The International Data Corporation has significantly downgraded its PC market forecasts, now predicting an 11.6% decline in global shipments for 2026, worsening from the previously projected 8.9% decline. Memory shortages are expected to persist through 2027, with price relief not anticipated until 2028, and even then prices will remain elevated compared to 2025 levels. Multiple major technology companies including HP, Samsung, Valve, and Framework have already reported surging memory costs impacting their operations. Geopolitical tensions in Iran and the Middle East could further exacerbate these market challenges.
