Based on the most recent report from TrendForce, the three dominant DRAM producers globally—Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron—are redirecting their manufacturing efforts towards server DDR5 and HBM. This strategic shift is leading to a supply crunch for DRAM used in PCs, mobile gadgets, and consumer-level items. It is forecasted that in the fourth quarter of 2025, prices for conventional DRAM will experience a quarter-on-quarter increase ranging from 8% to 13%. When factoring in HBM, the price surge could escalate to between 13% and 18%. Specifically, PC DRAM prices are likely to see a modest uptick owing to constrained supply. The robust demand for server DDR5 is propelling its prices upward. Moreover, mobile DRAM prices for LPDDR4X are projected to climb by over 10%, and prices for LPDDR5X are also poised for an increase.
