Storage crisis in Germany: Our descent into insignificance (heise.de)

• Market dominance by a few Asian memory suppliers
• Lack of domestic European memory fabrication capacity
• High vulnerability of German industrial base to price shocks

"Germany faces a significant industrial disadvantage due to its total dependency on Asian manufacturers for critical memory components. This market concentration allows for price manipulation and supply volatility, exposing the limitations of current European industrial strategy. Without a domestic foothold in mass-scale memory fabrication, German high-tech sectors remain susceptible to external geopolitical and market-driven supply disruptions, highlighting a major failure in digital infrastructure resilience."
