In July, high prices combined with weak consumer demand paralyzed the NAND Flash wafer market, resulting in flat contract prices and extremely low transaction volumes. While mainstream TLC and QLC prices stagnated, MLC recorded slight gains due to supply scarcity and substitution constraints. Overall market sentiment remains strictly cautious.

Key Highlights

Overall Market Trend: High wafer costs paired with sluggish end-user demand caused buyers to resist higher prices and rely on inventory, leaving contract prices completely flat amid extremely low trading volumes.
MLC Series: Backed by tight supply and non-replaceable component needs from specific clients, prices edged up slightly, though insufficient to reverse general market caution.
TLC Series: Elevated costs suppressed module makers' willingness to procure. With sluggish negotiations and muted demand, prices remained virtually unchanged.
QLC Series: Despite demand from server applications, buyer pushback against high costs and weak consumer markets froze price momentum completely.
Analyst Outlook: Buyer tolerance for elevated prices has reached its limit. The market remains in a stalemate characterized by high costs, low volumes, and widespread wait-and-see sentiment.
