Driven by constrained capacity, niche NAND Flash supply shortages persist. SLC maintains moderate gains supported by rigid demand, though growth has slowed. MLC prices remain nearly flat as buyer cost limits are reached, entering a consolidation phase. Going forward, SLC will rise moderately while MLC stabilizes.

Key Highlights

Market Overview: Supplier focus on high-layer 3D NAND sustains the niche NAND Flash supply imbalance, though overall price momentum has noticeably moderated.
SLC Dynamics: Supported by rigid demand from automotive and networking sectors, prices continue to rise, but growth has narrowed due to weaker buyer follow-through.
MLC Dynamics: With downstream cost limits reached and weak buyer willingness, price growth is nearly flat as the market enters a high-level consolidation phase.
Future Outlook: SLC will continue rising at a slower pace due to tight mature capacities, while MLC is likely to transition from consolidation to price stability.
