Samsung Electric plans to renegotiate NAND flash memory prices with major mobile, PC, and server customers from this month to next month, with a target price increase of 15 to 20%. After more than a year of oversupply, Samsung Electronics' NAND flash memory sales price remained flat for a while, so it plans to negotiate with major customers to bring the price back to a reasonable level.
According to the Huachuang Securities Research Report, AI demand is strongly driven, and the storage market will experience a sharp rise in volume and price. On the PC/mobile phone side, AI can accelerate terminal configuration upgrades, and the demand for bits is expected to continue to rise. On the server side, according to Micron estimates, the amount of DRAM/NAND used in AI servers is 8 times/3 times that of traditional servers, respectively; at the same time, it has also spawned massive demand for new high-performance memories. HBM has broken through memory capacity and bandwidth bottlenecks, and is regarded as a next-generation DRAM solution, and has become an indispensable key technology in the AI era. Driven by strong AI demand, the average standalone capacity of smartphones, servers, and laptops is growing, and the server sector is growing the most.
