Sony suspended CFexpress and SDXC/SDHC memory card sales due to a global shortage.


Sony has temporarily stopped selling its CFexpress and SDXC/SDHC memory cards. Some SD card models will remain available until current stock runs out.

Impact on Market and Consumers

Prices for similar products are expected to rise as supply runs low. Stores will have limited availability until existing inventory is gone.

Reasons for Suspension

The company cited a global memory shortage as the main reason for the pause in production. Other suspected factors include a helium shortage affecting chipmakers.

Related Sony Developments

Recently, Sony increased the price of the PS5 due to ongoing global economic pressures. Video games are unlikely to be directly affected by the memory card pause.

Additional Context

Industry observers say these actions are part of wider economic and supply challenges.
