3Q25 memory prices rise above forecasts as supply tightens. DDR4 surges, new products rise moderately; NAND Flash up only in enterprise.

DRAM prices jump as suppliers shift to high-end production; legacy DDR4 faces shortage and panic buying, outpacing newer types.
NAND Flash price growth slows; consumer demand softens, but enterprise SSD demand is strong due to AI and data center build-out.
Suppliers cut legacy output and focus on profitable segments, driving price divergence between product generations.
Seasonal stocking, tariff avoidance, AI-related demand, and inventory restocking together sustain stable demand.
Memory price increases span most applications, with upstream control pushing overall Q3 prices above expectations, especially for DDR4.
