Commodity pricing through Q4 2023 favors the buy-side, with nearly three-quarters of electronic component price dimensions either declining (48%) or stabilizing. The forecast for H1 2024 pricing shows just 4% of price dimensions on the rise and 72% in stable mode. The main price and availability outlier for Q4 2023 and 2024 is memory – specifically, NAND flash and DDR4, DDR5, and HBM (high-bandwidth memory) DRAM. Buyers should acknowledge and plan to increase memory pricing while ensuring the most advantageous price and delivery terms for most active and passive components, at least through H1 2024.
