Summary
According to Counterpoint Research, global flat panel display (FPD) shipments are expected to decline 4.7% year-over-year in 2026. Strong demand for storage from AI data centers has driven up memory prices, which are passed on to end-device costs, dampening demand in key applications like smartphones and tablets.

This news shows that AI data center construction is driving up memory prices, which in turn dampens consumer electronics demand, indicating that the AI investment boom is having ripple effects on the real economy, but it is not direct evidence of a bubble or its burst.
