Reports indicate that Samsung Electronics is seeking to raise DRAM prices by approximately 20% in the third quarter of this year.
On July 4, Chinese economic media outlet Jielai Finance cited local electronics industry sources, stating that Samsung had discussed a price increase for DRAM with some clients in China last month and had verbally notified them of the proposal. If implemented, this price hike could impact the costs of electronic products such as smartphones and PCs.
Samsung has not officially commented on the potential increase in DRAM prices for the third quarter.
Market analysts are leaning towards the likelihood of rising memory prices. Research firm TrendForce projects that DRAM contract prices will increase by 13% to 18% in the third quarter, while NAND flash prices are expected to rise by 10% to 15%.
Chinese market research firm Qunzhi Consulting also anticipates that the price of high-performance, low-power memory LPDDR5X (8GB) will rise by about 20% in the third quarter.
