Market analysts are projecting a sharp decline in global smartphone shipments in 2026, largely driven by a tight memory market and RAM shortage.
The memory shortage is expected to affect production capacities across major smartphone manufacturers, leading to higher prices and reduced availability.
This supply shock comes at a challenging time for the smartphone industry, which is already facing pressure from economic uncertainties and longer upgrade cycles.
Industry experts suggest that consumers may face higher prices for new devices through much of 2026 as supply constraints persist.
