Samsung Targets Honam Region For New Memory Capacity

The DIGITIMES payload says Samsung announced on June 29 a combined KRW2,655 trillion, about US$1.72 trillion as of June 30, 2026, in domestic investment. The plan includes continued work at the Pyeongtaek and Yongin semiconductor clusters and a new focus on Korea's southwestern Honam region. For RamTrend, the key memory detail is that the bulk of the new Honam-region spending is described as targeting memory capacity. This is a long-horizon supply expansion signal from one of the largest DRAM and NAND suppliers, even if it does not immediately ease current shortages.
