On July 14, local time, Bank of America released a report saying that due to technological upgrades, the actual annual growth rate of South Korea's average wafer production capacity will be less than 10%, far short of the official goal of doubling by 2030. SK Hynix's new memory production capacity by 2028 is likely to be only one-sixth of the original plan. In addition, Samsung and SK Hynix will probably extend the construction and equipment installation cycle for new large-scale fabs in Gwangju and Jeolla to ten years.
