According to DigiTimes sources, the prices of DRAM modules during the year 2021 are going to rise irretrievably, because manufacturers such as Samsung, Micron and SK Hynix are not being able to increase production in the face of growing market demand.
DRAM modules will continue to rise in price throughout 2021
The source says providers are very reluctant to build additional DRAM capacity, which could lead to limited production growth this year. Lack of capacity and less stock is synonymous with higher prices.
Everything indicates that the demand for DRAM memory modules is going to increase in the coming months and the main manufacturers do not seem to be able to increase production capacity, at least not yet.
During the first quarter of the year, the prices of the modules have already risen and that the supply is lower than the demand, which would carry over to the rest of the year 2021.
The reports say something very similar to comments made by Micron CFO David Zinsner: He said he expects supply to be tight throughout the year, according to Seeking Alpha, which "bodes well" for prices of DRAM, but not for the consumer.
The prices of DRAM memory modules will continue to rise until 2022, they estimate. DRAM prices can be difficult to predict, especially in the long term, due not only to a lack of capacity but also to natural events such as earthquakes or human failures that can delay production.
The entire industry is being affected by the problems of stock, CPUs, GPUs and other components of the PC that does not seem to have ended in the short term. We will keep you informed.
