Driven by supply constraints from the shift to DDR5 and suppliers' reluctance to sell, DDR4 prices have surged. DDR3 prices followed suit due to reduced output. Strong spot market performance suggests Consumer DRAM contract prices will continue their upward trend in the coming quarter.

Key Highlights

Supply Crunch Boosts DDR4: Major suppliers' shift to new processes limits DDR4 output. Combined with a reluctance to sell due to high profitability, this has driven significant hikes in both contract and spot prices.
DDR3 Follows Suit: Despite conservative demand outlooks, DDR3 prices are rising in tandem with DDR4, driven by sharply reduced output from manufacturers and aligned pricing strategies.
Positive Outlook: Strong spot prices for high-capacity chips indicate unresolved supply constraints. Consequently, Consumer DRAM contract prices are projected to continue their robust upward trend into the next quarter.
