DRAM spot market prices stabilized in late July as Samsung’s aggressive pricing for server DRAM and enterprise SSDs helped maintain market equilibrium. DDR5 is experiencing larger price hikes than currently over-inventoried DDR4, and contract DRAM pricing is expected to increase by an average of 10% in Q3 for server and PC variants. Micron increased LPDDR5 pricing by 15% at the start of calendar Q3 on stronger shipment projections for notebook and mobile electronics. Supply chain and procurement professionals are advised to seek and secure advantages from short-term spot market pricing opportunities and oversupply situations.
