Analysts display a graph showing RAM prices increasing.In justone month from March to April 2026, prices rose by 26 percent, and this situation is expected to persist into 2027.
An X account user named @jukan05 revealed that the average export price of DRAM from March to April 2026 rose by as much as 26 percent. At the same time, SSD hard disk prices also increased similarly, even though NAND memory costs slightly decreased in some areas.
The continuously rising memory price crisis results from growing demand in the artificial intelligence industry, which manufacturers cannot expand production capacity quickly enough to meet market demand.
This aligns with Samsung's opinionshared in their earnings report that the memory crisis may intensify further in 2027 due to ongoing production constraints amid rapidly growing demand.
Meanwhile, this situation has started to directly affect consumers, with Android smartphones beginning to see price increases reflecting higher production costs, and no signs of price reductions are expected in the near future.
