The price increase of storage products is showing no signs of abating. Data from various agencies reveal that while the current spot prices for storage products are holding steady, the pace of growth has slightly decelerated. Nevertheless, the industry is brimming with bullish confidence. On December 25, TrendForce's most recent report on memory product spot price trends highlighted that prices for DDR4, DDR5, and modules are still on an upward trajectory, though the rate of increase has diminished compared to earlier periods. This slowdown isn't attributed to an easing of supply constraints; instead, it's more likely a short-term tactic employed by certain intermediary traders who are releasing inventory to tidy up their year-end financial statements. This week, Kingston substantially hiked DRAM prices, signaling no weakness in the overall spot market. At the same time, the NAND Flash spot market is also displaying an optimistic trend, fueled by expectations of contract price hikes.
