United States High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Market - Size, Share, Industry Trends, and Growth Forecasts (2026-2031) | AI Demand Fuels 27.98% CAGR to USD 4.91 Billion
Dublin, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "United States HBM - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026-2031)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The United States HBM market was valued at USD 1.09 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow from USD 1.43 billion in 2026 to USD 4.91 billion by 2031. This represents a CAGR of 27.98% during the 2026-2031 forecast period. Growth is being driven by rising memory requirements for AI training, inference, high-performance computing, advanced graphics, and hyperscale data center infrastructure.
AI Training and Inference Increase HBM Demand
High-bandwidth memory demand per accelerator is increasing faster than accelerator shipments because each new computing platform requires more stacks, greater capacity, and higher bandwidth. NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform entered full production in May 2026, reinforcing the importance of memory performance in the development of agentic AI factories and next-generation computing systems.
Memory suppliers are scaling production to support these requirements. Samsung's commercial HBM4 achieved transfer speeds of 11.7 Gbps and bandwidth of up to 3.3 TB/s per stack. Micron also entered high-volume HBM4 production for Vera Rubin. Meanwhile, AMD reported USD 16.6 billion in data center revenue for 2025, indicating sustained demand for HBM-equipped accelerator platforms.
AI training clusters remain major consumers of memory, while inference infrastructure is creating a more consistent source of demand as user traffic and AI services expand. As a result, the United States HBM market is benefiting from both new data center installations and recurring platform refresh cycles.
Hyperscale Data Center Expansion Supports Market Growth
Large-scale AI data center construction across the United States continues to pull HBM supply forward. Accelerator deployment schedules increasingly depend on the availability of qualified memory and advanced packaging capacity. NVIDIA reported that Vera Rubin entered production with seven new chips supported by more than 350 supply chain partners across 30 countries, demonstrating the scale of the ecosystem preparing for deployment.
Samsung began mass production of commercial HBM4 in February 2026, followed by Micron's move into high-volume HBM4 production in March 2026. These developments align with expanding customer programs and the transition from pilot AI clusters to production environments. Broader accelerator adoption is also diversifying HBM demand beyond a single platform or purchasing cycle, creating a more durable growth outlook.
Advanced Packaging Capacity Remains a Key Constraint
Advanced packaging capacity continues to limit near-term market expansion. Frontier AI accelerators depend on a relatively narrow group of qualified integration processes, creating potential scheduling pressure when packaging availability does not align with product launches.
Domestic investments are expected to strengthen the United States semiconductor supply chain, but much of the capacity remains under development. SK hynix's Indiana facility is expected to begin mass production in the second half of 2028. Micron's planned investments in Idaho, New York, and Virginia also represent multi-year expansion programs rather than immediate additions to available capacity.
Each new HBM generation requires packaging validation, manufacturing process optimization, and improved yields in addition to greater wafer output. High yield-loss risk in multi-die, high-stack HBM manufacturing may therefore continue to affect production schedules. CHIPS Act support, reshoring incentives, chiplet architectures, and additional domestic investment are expected to improve long-term supply resilience.
HBM3E Leads While HBM4E Gains Momentum
HBM3E accounted for 71.32% of the United States HBM market in 2025, supported by large procurement programs for Blackwell-based systems. Its bandwidth and capacity made it the primary memory choice for high-volume AI accelerator deployments. HBM2E and HBM3 retained demand in legacy high-performance computing and professional visualization systems with longer qualification cycles.
HBM4E and later-generation HBM products are projected to record a CAGR of 28.94% through 2031. Customers are prioritizing higher throughput, greater stack capacity, and improved power efficiency within constrained package footprints. Samsung reported that its commercial HBM4 provides up to 3.3 TB/s of bandwidth and 40% better power efficiency than HBM3E. The company also began shipping HBM4E samples in May 2026, offering bandwidth of up to 3.6 TB/s and capacity of 48 GB.
SK hynix completed HBM4 development in September 2025, while Micron's high-volume HBM4 production confirms that the next market cycle has moved into commercial execution. Future growth will depend heavily on how quickly suppliers can scale qualified HBM4 and HBM4E products across major accelerator programs.
Advanced Technology Nodes Strengthen Market Performance
Advanced nodes below 1Z represented 49.94% of the United States HBM market in 2025 and are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 28.69% through 2031. These nodes support the transition to HBM4 and HBM4E by improving bandwidth, power efficiency, and package integration.
SK hynix uses its 1b nm process and Advanced MR-MUF technology for HBM4, while Samsung combines a 4 nm logic base die with a 1c DRAM process. Micron's commercial HBM4 production further demonstrates that below 1Z technology has become central to current supply. Although 1X, 1Y, and 1Z nodes remain relevant for defense, research, and other long-lifecycle systems, market growth is increasingly concentrated in advanced processes designed for AI accelerators and high-bandwidth computing platforms.
