The RAM memory It has not improved at the beginning of 2026, of which we have already completed the first month. The most pessimistic bets for 2026 seem to be right, as stated by TrendForce in their latest study that includes the DRAM and NAND Flash-based products. If TrendForce had already predicted a considerable price increase for this first quarter of the year, now they have revised to raise it even more.

DRAM and NAND Flash memory prices will rise more than expected in this first quarter

It seems that the reasons are high demand for PC products that include these components, during the past and last quarter of 2025. Demand for AI continuing to rise, suggests increased amount of DRAM and NAND Flash memory for data centers, leaving memory for consumption even more aside. According to TrendForce estimates, the price of DRAM memory, which had been expected to increase by between 55 and 60% for this first quarter, now stands at an increase of between 90 and 95%.

DRAM memory will increase by up to 95% during the first quarter

An increase that will affect consumers to a greater extent, since server manufacturers have been negotiating long-term agreements with memory vendors. Despite this, server memory will also experience a sharp rise in more than 90% compared to the previous quarterin what is possibly the largest quarter-over-quarter increase.

During this first quarter, record increases in DRAM and NAND Flash will be experienced

But he NAND Flash memory price It won’t go unnoticed either. TrendForce has also stipulated major rises for this first quarter, where I had initially calculated between 33 and 38%, it has now increased to 55 – 60% increase compared to the previous quarter. NAND Flash memory orders exceed production capacity of suppliersas suppliers are allocating production lines from NAND to DRAM.

Memory suppliers are prioritizing DRAM manufacturing

A situation you can do worsen the already disastrous market and supply of this type of memory used for storage in servers and data centers, as well as in consumer PCs, whether desktop or laptop. The prices of the enterprise market SSD drives they are expected to rise between 53 and 58% compared to the previous quarteralso setting a new rise record that will be crowned this first quarter of the year.
