Kim In-dong, Managing Director at Samsung Electronics, and Kang Sun-kook, Vice President at SK Hynix, revealed this information at an analyst event hosted by Marvell in the United States late last year.

Vice President Kang stated, “The standard for 8th-generation HBM (HBM5) has not yet been established. Until the end of 2026, 6th-generation HBM (HBM4) standard products will dominate the market, and custom HBM production is expected to begin in earnest from 2027.”

Managing Director Kim added, “Advanced technologies that integrate cutting-edge packaging, memory, and logic semiconductor technologies are essential. There is also a projection that the custom HBM market will expand to $38 billion (approximately 55 trillion KRW) by 2029.”
