On April 25, 2026, according to AKIBA PC, several DDR5 memory kits in the Japanese market experienced notable price reductions in mid-April, with some products seeing drops of up to 22%. Specifically, a 32GB (16GB×2) DDR5-5600 kit is now priced at 47,980 yen (approximately 2,057 RMB), down about 20% from its long-standing price of 60,000 yen. A 64GB (32GB×2) DDR5-4800 kit has dropped below 80,000 yen for the first time in four months, a decrease of about 21.8% from last month. 64GB kits with specifications such as DDR5-5600, 6000, and 6400 have seen price reductions of around 10%, though most remain above 80,000 yen. The high-frequency Kingston Fury 16GB×2 DDR5-7200 kit is now priced at 58,980 yen, a 16% decrease. While current prices have declined, they are still high year-over-year, with 32GB DDR5 kits priced at about one-fourth of their current levels this time last year. Additionally, SO-DIMM laptop memory and DDR4 memory are also at recent lows, though the market remains volatile. Globally, most 64GB DDR5 memory kits are still priced high, making Japan's recent price drops a localized phenomenon. The subsequent trend remains to be seen.
