Get ready for price increases. They will affect many categories of devices
Electronics prices are set to rise. They will likely affect many devices, including laptops and smartphones.
DRAM manufacturers expect chip shortages, which could result in a large increase in electronics prices. The increases will affect many devices, including laptops, smartphones and RAM for desktops. The reason is simple.
DRAM prices increase
The reports may even seem slightly shocking to someone who closely follows the market. Just a few months ago, DRAM manufacturers were reducing production to get rid of surpluses and increase severely depressed prices. Now we are getting information that There may be too little DRAM memory, even though production has already started at full speed. How is this possible?
Demand is to blame, but not from consumers, but from other companies. Specifically, it’s about solutions related to artificial intelligence. The demand is so huge that manufacturers (Samsung, SK Hynix, etc.) devote a lot of their capacity to the production of HBM memory, giving less priority to DRAM modules. This may lead to shortages in the near future and thus to price increases.
Meanwhile, DRAM memories are widely used in many devices, from smartphones through laptops to desktop components. If there are indeed shortages on the market, we should expect prices to increase.
