DRAMeXchange: iPad and iPhone will credit to the slight shortage on NAND Flash demand in 2H’10

28 April 2010

Apr. 28th,2010- iPad and iPhone 4G, the new product of Apple, has attracted many spotlight this year. According to DRAMeXchange, 2010 iPhone shipment is expected to reach 40M units while NAND Flash consumption will account 9% of total. We believe the NAND Flash demand will be boosted by Apple products, which will likely result in the mild shortage in 2H’10.  

Continuous DRAM tight supply will likely attain strong DDR2/DDR3 1Gb pricing trend to September

9 April 2010

Apr 9th,2010-----According to DRAMeXchange, given the aggressive demand from PC-OEMs, 1H’Apr. contract price still remains strong upward momentum that DDR3 is up 7% to US$46 while DDR2 is up 5% to US$42. From the market status, DRAM demand in 1Q10 and expected 2Q10 will be sustain the high level same as the peak in 4Q09.
