AI Data Centres Are Creating a Memory and Storage Bottleneck – Here’s What Indian Investors Should Know

This trend has created an unusual supply crunch in memory markets, pushing some U.S.-listed companies into rare stock market leadership positions in 2025 and early 2026.

For Indian investors using platforms such as Appreciate to access U.S. equities, this structural shift represents an under-appreciated segment of the AI infrastructure stack and a potential long-term investment theme.
