[PConline News] The price increase of memory chips lasting a year and a half has caused DIY players to suffer. The memory prices have soared by three times, and the cost of two memory installations will increase by at least 800-1,000 yuan compared to a year ago. The price has also doubled, and the entire market has earned in addition to upstream manufacturers and distributors, and consumers have lost. 2017 is about to pass. Looking at the changes in memory and flash memory prices in 2018? The current news is good or bad, because even if it is a stand-alone machine in the Q1 quarter of next year, there will be no price cuts for DRAM memory chips. Samsung and Hynix South Korean manufacturers insist on price increases, Q1 quarterly contract prices rose at least 5%, but the SSD hard drive market may usher in a variable, due to increase in production capacity is expected to cut prices.

According to sources from Jibang Technology, the outsiders originally expected DRAM upstream manufacturers to lower their prices in Q1 next year. After all, the Q1 quarter is the traditional off-season during the year. Demand has dropped and the price adjustment is normal, but Samsung and Hynix have already declined price cuts. Probably, Samsung's DRAM particle contract price will increase 3-5% next year. SK Hynix (Hynix) also followed suit and stated that it would increase its price by 5%. Their reason is that DRAM pellets are still in short supply.
If DRAM memory prices continue to rise at the beginning of next year, it will once again break the record of Q1 off-season price cuts, and DRAM memory particles will continue to rise for seven quarters. According to this trend, it is estimated that it will not be possible to lower prices in Q2 next year. Then the price of this wave of memory will be full for two years.
Samsung and Hynix are the world’s largest and second-largest suppliers of DRAM memory chips, occupying at least 45% and 29% respectively. US-based Micron takes up approximately 20% of the market share, and the remaining 5% contributes to several Taiwanese companies. Manufacturers are divided, but the three companies that can influence the price trend are basically the first three. In particular, South Korean manufacturers can dominate, they do not lower prices, and Micron basically has no possibility of price cuts, and it is almost certain that prices will follow.
The price of memory will not come back for a half past one day. Fortunately, the SSD hard drive market may have variables - market demand for computers, laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc. will drop by about 15% in Q1 next year. The server market demand is relatively stable, but it is also possible. There will be a 0-5% drop. The demand for NAND is declining. However, the upstream manufacturers' NAND flash memory capacity continues to increase. In 2016, the yields of 64-layer and higher stacked layers of 3D NAND flash memory of major manufacturers have been stable, and their production capacity has increased by at least 5%.
As NAND flash memory is about to turn from supply shortage to oversupply, it is expected that the price of NAND flash memory will fall in the Q1 quarter. Accordingly, the prices of SSD hard disks will also be reduced, which is a good thing for consumers.
