[THE INVESTOR] The prices of DRAM and NAND flash memory chips will increase in the fourth quarter thanks to the rising demand for laptop computers and a supply shortage in the NAND flash market, according to industry data on Oct. 5.
The average contract price of DRAM for personal computers rose 7.4 percent on month in September to US$14.50, and the price for the fourth quarter “will reach its highest point in two years due to stronger-than-expected notebook demand worldwide,” DRAMeXchange said in a statement.
“At the same time, the NAND Flash market is experiencing shortages,” DRAMeXchange added. “In the fourth quarter, the average selling price of eMCP will increase by 10-15 percent versus the prior quarter.”
The embedded multi-chip package (eMCP) memory is comprised of NAND flash memory chips and other parts.
Industry observers expect strong prices of NAND flash memory chips to help Samsung Electronics and SK hynix increase their earnings in the fourth quarter.
