[PConline News] A few days ago, some e-commerce platforms saw minor price reductions, leading many to believe that the long-awaited price drop was finally here. After rising more than three times over the past year, people had hoped for a significant decrease in memory prices. However, it seems that these temporary drops were just short-lived. In recent days, memory prices have once again climbed back to their previous high levels.

Looking at the price trend of a representative Kingston model over the past year, it's clear that even though the price had dropped below 300 yuan at one point, especially around mid-November, other brands followed a similar pattern with small fluctuations. But this recent dip didn't last long.
However, things have changed again recently.
After a brief decline, memory prices have started to rise once more. According to upstream industry reports, the supply of DRAM chips remains tight, and as supply dictates pricing, it’s expected that memory prices will remain high for the foreseeable future — at least until the first quarter of next year.
This means that, for now, memory prices are unlikely to drop significantly. There may be occasional sales or small discounts, but these aren’t indicative of a real price cut.
According to data from Bo board, in October 2017, total shipments of the top 11 memory brands in China fell by about 10%, marking the second consecutive month of declining volumes. Despite the lower shipment numbers, profits for these companies might not have suffered, given the high unit prices.
Overall, the theme of this year’s DIY market has been one of constant ups and downs — everything has gone up, and only those who needed it could afford to buy, buy, and buy.
As we move into the new year, it seems that the high cost of memory is here to stay for a while. If you're planning to upgrade your system, it might be wise to keep an eye on the market, but don’t expect any major price drops anytime soon.
