Transition between DRAM Generations Drives Diverging 3Q25 Price Trends; Consumer DDR4 Prices Expected to Surge Over 40%, Says TrendForce

TrendForce’s latest findings show that the three major DRAM suppliers are shifting capacity toward high-end products and have begun announcing end-of-life (EOL) plans for PC and server-grade DDR4 and mobile LPDDR4X. This has triggered aggressive restocking of legacy-generation products, further fueled by traditional peak-season demand. Consequently, average contact prices for conventional DRAM are projected to rise by 10% to 15% in 3Q25. Including HBM, overall DRAM prices are expected to increase by 15% to 20%.

TV Brands May Pass U.S. Tariff Costs to Consumers; 2025 Shipments Expected to Drop 0.7%, Says TrendForce

TrendForce’s latest research indicates that U.S. reciprocal tariffs are likely to drive TV brands to pass rising costs onto consumers through higher retail prices in the second half of 2025, further weakening consumer spending momentum. Meanwhile, China’s “trade-in” subsidy program in late 2024 had already pulled forward some demand, and despite the program’s extension into 2025, it is unlikely to stimulate additional purchases. Consequently, TrendForce projects global TV shipments in 2025 to decline by 0.7% YoY to 196.44 million units.
