A Counterpoint Research report released on November 5 shows that global DRAM market revenue reached nearly $200 billion in the third quarter of 2026, up 369% year-on-year — roughly five times the figure for the same period last year. The growth was driven primarily by price increases rather than a substantial rise in shipments: unit shipments in the quarter edged up only about 4% quarter-on-quarter, while the average selling price per Gb climbed to $1.9.
