Comments
Continious price increases
driven by AI demand and
declining DDR4 production.
DDR4/LPDDR4 on allocation.
DDR5 lead times increasing.
Supply remains tight but
manageable with early
forecasting and long-term
commitments.
Raw material cost, energy
cost increase drives price
adjustments, with selective
increases for automotive and
high-reliability devices. Lead
times 12–20 weeks. Good
availability for standard SRAM;
tighter for industrial, defense
and long-life products.
Moderate price increases, mainly
for enterprise SSDs. Lead times
stretching up across leading to
tighter availability specificall
tighter for enterprise PCIe Gen5
and industrial SSDs.
Capacity limitation on sensors,
plan your needs long term.
