A record increase in the export prices of Korean chips to support the demand for artificial intelligence
The prices of the export of South Korea rose by semiconductors in May, confirming the power of recovery in the artificial intelligence sector that supports the driving force of economic activity in the country. The memory -chips industry, known for its periodic fluctuations, is recovering quickly from its crisis, led by the “Samsung Electronics” and “Sk Hynix” Korean, where the country’s export price index jumped 42.1% in May compared to the same month of the previous year, based on the US dollar, according to the Korah Bank. Most of the country’s export of electronic chips are segments of memory, and this increase is partly due to prices with high frequency memory. The cost increase in May is the fastest rise in cost ever, according to data dating from the 1970s, and comes to an increase of 41.4% in April. The bottleneck has become a high -frequency memory, an obstacle that looks like the bottleneck in relation to the production of artificial intelligence chips, as the production of the company “Sk Hynix” sold largely at the end of 2025, while “Samsung” experiences trouble approving the use of its products. Memory chips are the basic pillar of the South Korea technology sector as well as smartphones and screens. The Samsung and SK Hynix businesses are also the most valuable businesses in the country. With the high global demand for discs used to develop artificial intelligence, memory chips have increased since late last year, increasing the momentum that helped the Korean economy grow more than expected in the first quarter of the year. According to the Korean Customs Division, export of slides increased by 36.6% during the first ten days of May, suggesting that the growth rate consisting of two numbers is likely to continue during the entire month. Sales may receive extra payment if Samsung is able to obtain requests from “Invidia” and competitive chips, such as “Advanz Micro Device” (AMD).
