RAM memory has gone up in price lately, especially if you look at the last year. The “apologies” for various subjects are over and the crisis which is fast approaching on a global level is already reflected in the financial balances and in the markets. One of them, the RAM memorywill undergo a fall beautiful, since it seems that the manufacturers are going to have to lower the price if they want to sell their tokens.
The price of DDR4 memory is stabilizing, it was down at the end of the year compared to mid-2021 when it was supposed to increase and now stability seems to be its strongest source of sustenance. But that won’t last long, since a manufacturer crisis is coming for some crazy reason that makes us think, has no one seen it?
RAM memory crash and crisis, price and stock market outlook
There is a very serious problem with the RAM market and it is nothing more than an imbalance between cost and price that needs to be fixed. It’s all about what was paid for materials and chips like DDR5 PMICs versus what they have to fix after the reports, but… what do these reports say?
Well, something worrying for manufacturers and assemblers: the market demand for memory will decrease a lot, both in PCs and in mobile phones and laptops. It’s not a future fact, it’s just the verification of the financial data of companies like ADATA
Therefore, the reports only show that the trend is down, very weak, and what a few months ago was paid at the price of gold as an investment to manufacture chips and modules, is now in deficit because the price will go down.
The coming price war
With DDR5 we see how prices drop dramatically because they are not sold. And we know that because we’ve been dealing with CPU and motherboard sales not too long ago and the trend was down and will continue to be down, with just the time frame of the Core 13 and Zen 4where after its launch, the market will fall again.
From then on, the manufacturers find themselves immersed in a war where the price will be decisive and downwards if they want to sell a minimum, which, as they say, is already being felt incredibly in DDR5.
Even Micron, the world’s third largest manufacturer, is already lowering its prices because Wall Street downgraded its stock because it was not in line with current market conditions, so if it continued like this, shareholders would lose money. Stocks fell 6% and without the announcement of the price cut, the blow could have been much greater.
In short, RAM memory has entered a downward price spiral that will cause all manufacturers and assemblers to lose money, the stock of chips and modules is on the rise because many other sales were expected with the release of new CPUs and, in return, the market changed course and no one saw it coming in advance. Price war, losses and users that they won’t buy because financially everything is very complicated… The perfect storm.
