The nand is expected to continue falling in price, but not the ram
Table of contents:
NAND memory prices have decreased by 50% so far this year, mainly due to the expansion of the production capacity of the main suppliers around the world, and prices are expected to drop further in 2019. By contrast, the price of RAM is expected to remain stable throughout the coming year.
NAND will continue to drop in 2019, but RAM is expected to remain stable
Simon Chen, president of Adata Technology, said that the world's leading NAND flash makers have yet to reduce manufacturing capacity expansions, and that prices could see a bigger drop in 2019 than in 2018. Industry sources said There are now 6-7 leading manufacturers of NAND flash products worldwide, all dedicated to developing next-generation production processes.

All of these manufacturers are actively developing new production capabilities for 96-layer 3D NAND chips at a rate of 50, 000-100, 000 pieces per month, and China's Yangtze memory technology is also increasing its NAND flash production capacity on a monthly level. maximum of 150, 000 units. The resulting oversupply is expected to cause prices to drop further in 2019.
In contrast, DRAM prices are likely to remain stable in 2019 as the world's top three DRAM makers, Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron, will have only a slight expansion in production capacity in 2019, despite expected increases in demand from the data center, gaming device, IoT and vehicle systems sectors. Hopefully these forecasts are not met and RAM prices will also drop in 2019.

DigiTimes has reported on plans by major memory manufacturers like Samsung and SK Hynix to slow down its capacity expansion, DigiTimes has reported on plans by major memory manufacturers like Samsung and SK Hynix to slow down its manufacturing capacity.
Micron is reducing the production of dram and nand due to falling prices
The company has announced plans to reduce production by 5%. This applies to both your DRAM and NAND flash products.
The price of ram will not only not drop in 2018 but will continue to rise
The increase in the price of silicon wafers will cause the price of RAM and SSDs to continue to grow in 2018.
