According to industry reports, with major DRAM and NAND Flash producers ramping up their shipments, memory packaging and testing facilities such as Powertech Technology, ProMOS Technologies, and ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES have experienced a significant uptick in orders. Their capacity utilization rates are now nearing full capacity. In response to this peak in demand, these manufacturers have recently implemented a price increase of roughly 30% for their packaging and testing services. Representatives from the relevant packaging and testing plants have indicated that their order books are fully booked, hinting at the possibility of a subsequent second round of price hikes.
