Sony has reportedly suspended sales of most of its memory cards due to ongoing global component shortages. According to reports from technology news sources, the Japanese electronics giant has temporarily stopped accepting new orders for the majority of its CFexpress and SD memory cards.
The pause, which reportedly began on March 27, 2026, affects formats including Type A, Type B, and SDXC/SDHC cards. Sony's Japanese website indicates the decision stems primarily from the global shortage of semiconductors and memory circuits. The company has apologized to customers for any inconvenience caused by the temporary suspension.
While existing inventory will remain available in stores until sold out, it remains unclear when production can resume. Some exceptions reportedly apply to simpler SD cards in the SF-UZ series and specific Type B models that will continue production for the time being. The component shortages have been attributed in part to increased demand from artificial intelligence investments driving up memory module prices globally.
