Recently, the upward momentum of NAND Flash wafer contract prices has decelerated significantly. Due to elevated costs and sluggish end-market consumption, module makers have adopted a passive procurement approach, leading to a scenario of high prices accompanied by shrinking transaction volumes. Price hikes for mainstream and high-capacity products have slowed, with only legacy low-capacity products maintaining strong gains driven by severe supply shortages. Entering the traditional off-season, if demand fails to recover, prices will likely face sideways consolidation, diminishing the probability of further substantial surges.

Key Highlights

Market: Hikes slowed. Peak costs & weak demand caused passive buying & low volume.
Products: Mainstream chips stagnated at price limits. Scarce legacy low-capacity chips surged.
Outlook: Slow season brings stagnation risk. Output controls stop crashes, but major hikes are unlikely.
