Thanks to the latest report released by TrendForce, a Taiwanese company that deals with the analysis of the semiconductor market, we have an updated estimate of the price trend of RAM memories for the next quarter. As noted in the article, DRAM prices are expected to decrease from 3 to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to the increase in inventory. Indeed, the supply of DRAM will fortunately manage to keep up with the pace of demand, creating a drop in prices compared to the previous quarter.
According to research data, DRAM producers are managing to accumulate a good amount of inventory their customers will be able to tap into. However, the latter are accumulating what is considered an unhealthy amount of inventory, resulting in less demand for additional orders.
The report analyzes demand for specific processing segments, covering PC, notebook, server and mobile. Demand for PC increased by the pandemic has weakened and growth appears to be slowing. When it comes to servers, the demand has led to such massive inventory inventory that suppliers have stock for more than ten weeks, creating a price drop for the first time this year. And last but not least, the mobile market is set to keep up with prices, as the relatively high demand for smartphones keeps the price relevant.
Credit: TrendForce In general, the RAM memory market it can adapt to market conditions, more precisely to the relationship between supply and demand. This means that if supply and / or demand change, prices will change accordingly. This report has given us some important information regarding the upcoming period, but what it holds next year is still largely unknown.
