In March 2026, the memory market hit a pivotal juncture, marked by a notable downturn in DDR5 memory prices. In the preceding six months, DDR5 memory had witnessed a staggering price surge exceeding 300%. However, recently, the price of mainstream 16GB single modules plummeted by over 200 yuan within a single week, while prices for 32GB kits also took a significant hit, dropping by nearly 20%. The contributing factors encompass several aspects: exorbitant prices that dampened consumer demand, the release of additional production capacity by domestic memory manufacturers, rigorous investigations into hoarding practices by international industry giants, and a strategic pivot in AI memory requirements towards specialized chips.
