The global technology sector is entering a period where memory is becoming one of the most constrained and expensive resources in the industry. DRAM and NAND prices rose 40–50% in Q4 2025, with forecasts indicating an additional 50% increase by Q1 2026 due to severe supply shortages driven by AI infrastructure demand. 

This “memory crunch” is reshaping entire markets. 

Production delays, rising costs of devices, and structural shifts among memory suppliers are prompting experts to caution about a supply imbalance that could last for several years, potentially through 2027. 

Consequently, companies are facing a competitive environment where they must create products that provide greater value while using less memory, as hardware budgets, device bill of materials (BOMs), and availability are all being affected. 

In this context, companies have the opportunity to make pivotal decisions that will determine their future success. 

This webinar will address the memory shortage issue, explore the opportunities available to companies, and present case studies from the industry demonstrating how businesses can succeed in this environment.  

We will also show how Qt can help organizations thrive in a hardware-constrained environment, specifically by: 

• Reducing bill of materials (BOM) costs, especially when memory may account for 20-30% of the device cost in certain categories.
• Extending device lifecycles and lowering required hardware specifications.
• Mitigating the effects of price volatility in DRAM and NAND.
• Accelerating time-to-market whilemaintainingtop performance.

• Ensuring the resilience of product lines as the AI-driven memory shortage intensifies.
