Samsung revives P5 Project as AI Demand spurs Investment
25. September 2025Samsung Electronics is reportedly resuming construction of its advanced Pyeongtaek Plant 5 (P5) after a two-year suspension. The renewed push is attributed to recent breakthroughs in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and next-generation DRAM technologies, along with projected rapid growth in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip sector. These developments are fueling new domestic investment initiatives by the tech giant. Equipment and components involved in chip production usually require KCs certification in order to be approved for import and sale in Korea.
Industry insiders revealed on July 1 that company leadership is in active discussions regarding both construction and capital deployment for the P5 site. Preliminary steps have already begun, with staff assigned to reorganize materials on location. Full-scale deployment of heavy machinery is anticipated as early as October.
