Currently, the focus of the Memory market mainly revolves around the actual implementation of supply and pricing by Memory manufacturers. Although Memory manufacturers recently announced the temporary quotations of some products, it still takes some time to promote the substantive negotiations between the supply and demand sides.

Driven by supply control at the resource end and trade speculation, the spot prices of 512Gb/1Tb Flash Wafers have been rising continuously for nearly two months, with a cumulative increase of over 20%.

Samsung Electronics presented a target pin speed of over 13Gbps for HBM4E, which is under development for 2027. HBM4E has 2,048 pins for data transfer, which translates to 3.25TB/s when converted to bytes (1 byte equals 8 bits). Simultaneously, Samsung Electronics stated that the power efficiency of HBM4E would be more than twice that of the current HBM3E, which is 3.9 picojoules (pJ) per bit.

Since last month, driven by both supply control and price hikes from Memory manufacturers, the prices of spot Flash Wafers have increased strongly.

Production capacity at Fab2 will ramp up in stages over time, in line with market trends, with meaningful output expected to begin in the first half of 2026.

Kioxia is working with Nvidia to build extremely fast AI SSDs to augment high-bandwidth Memory (HBM) by being directly connected to GPUs, with 2027 availability.

The abandonment of SOCAMM1, if accurate, resets what was expected to be a fast-tracked rollout of modular LPDDR-based Memory in Nvidia’s data center stack. SOCAMM has been positioned as a new class of high-bandwidth, low-power Memory for AI servers, delivering similar benefits to HBM but at a lower cost.

Samsung Electronics aims to expand HBM supply with the P5 groundbreaking.

Sandisk announces price will increase in excess of 10% on all products for channel and consumer customers.

The global DRAM market size in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 20% quarter-on-quarter to $32.101 billion, marking a new historical quarterly high.

SK Hynix expects this market for custom HBM to grow to tens of billions of dollars by 2030, Choi said.

Sandisk Corporation announced it has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SK hynix to work together to establish the specification for High Bandwidth Flash – a new technology designed to deliver breakthrough Memory capacity and performance for the next generation of AI inferences. Through this collaboration, the companies expect to standardize the specification, define technology requirements and explore the creation of a technology ecosystem for High Bandwidth Flash.

The company's Board of Directors has approved an investment of NT$4–5 billion (approximately $124–155 million USD) to add Flash production capacity at its Taichung plant. The annual capacity for NOR Flash and SLC NAND is expected to rise by more than 20%. Among these, SLC NAND faces tight market supply due to capacity crowding-out by eMMC production, indicating promising future growth potential.

Both revenues and operating profits stood at all-time highs, beating the previous best results in the fourth quarter of last year.

Building on its newly launched aerospace portfolio, Micron plans to introduce additional space-qualified Memory and storage solutions in the coming year and beyond to address the evolving demands of next-generation space missions.
