Memory prices for DDR5 have surged by 15% to 20% due to production cutbacks by major manufacturers.
The price hikes in memory come as an accumulation of the last 6 months, reflecting increases of 15-20% for DDR5 memories and 10-15% for DDR4 memory modules.
Statistics from TrendForce indicate that the price increases for DDR5 memories have exceeded earlier projections, although these increases were planned by major manufacturers such as Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix.
The memory manufacturers planned to reduce memory production to prevent it from exceeding demand. This strategy leads to price hikes and increased revenue in a context where there was previously an oversupply of memories.
The DRAM memory market has been facing negative numbers for several quarters, prompting manufacturers to seek a solution quickly. This occurs in a context where there is significant demand for memories from the server sector, and gamers are beginning to migrate from DDR4 to DDR5 memories with new generations of processors and motherboards.
Manufacturers are hopeful that their economy will improve in the coming quarters, generating positive revenue figures with a market supply/demand correction. We will keep you informed of any developments.
