Insider sources reveal that, propelled by a global surge in demand for AI computing power, the worldwide DRAM market is grappling with a supply shortage. This has triggered a swift escalation in memory chip prices. Specifically, the cost of 512GB storage has jumped by nearly 500 yuan compared to the previous month.
Presently, the mobile phone market is confronting substantial risks of price hikes. In response, some manufacturers have opted to halt their purchases of memory chips. It is anticipated that mobile phone products will soon be swept up in a wave of price increases. Market research institutions forecast that memory chip prices are poised to soar by roughly 50% from their current levels before the second quarter of 2026.
