The global memory industry saw simultaneous growth in volume and pricing during the third quarter of 2025, with DRAM and NAND memory prices rising amid ongoing supply constraints. Market participants anticipate that the DDR4 supply-demand imbalance will persist for another two to three quarters, leading to price increases for both DDR4 and DDR5 into early 2026. Chinese manufacturers have also raised NOR Flash prices, while Taiwanese suppliers are preparing price hikes starting in the fourth quarter to offset rising costs.
