Korean Media: SK Hynix Plans to Increase NAND Capacity in China by 50%

TechFlow news, August 11, according to South Korea's "Seoul Economic Daily", SK Hynix has resumed construction of the Phase II plant of its NAND flash production base in Dalian, China, with production capacity expected to expand by about 50%. The plant broke ground four years ago but was suspended for an extended period due to the slump in the memory market. SK Hynix plans to complete the installation of semiconductor production equipment within the year and officially start production in the first half of next year. The Dalian investment cycle has restarted after four years, driven by the surge in demand for enterprise SSDs due to the adoption of AI data centers, with NAND prices rising nearly tenfold within a year.
