DRAM Supply Pressure Continues to Push Prices Higher

Tight DRAM supply and stronger server demand are continuing to affect memory availability and pricing, according to new market analysis from TrendForce.

Key takeaways

• The global DRAM module market generated $21.2 billion in revenue in 2025, up 59% year on year.
• Stronger server DRAM demand reduced the amount of supply available for PC and consumer applications, contributing to higher memory prices.
• Module manufacturers are increasingly focusing on DDR5 and higher-value industrial and enterprise products.

What this means for traders

Memory pricing and availability remain important considerations for computer component buyers and resellers. As more supply is directed towards server and higher-value applications, availability for mainstream PC products can tighten. Traders should continue to monitor purchasing costs, supplier allocations and the transition from DDR4 to DDR5 when planning stock and pricing.
