Based on the most recent research conducted by TrendForce, a significant decline in global MLC NAND Flash production capacity is anticipated in 2026, with a projected year-on-year drop of 41.7%. This downturn is attributed to the strategic moves of major international NAND Flash producers, who are either exiting the MLC NAND Flash market or scaling back production in favor of focusing their resources on cutting-edge process technologies. Such actions are poised to aggravate the already existing supply-demand imbalance.
