DRAM Sales Revenue Up By 65 percent In 2017

DRAM Sales Revenue Up By 65 percent In 2017

As most of you know, there have been severe DRAM shortages on a global scale due to high demand and limited production. Though DRAM is obviously not limited to PCs, it is one of the reasons why DDR4 DRAM prices have doubled ever since last year. 

The increased RAM prices have made the overall revenue stream created by the manufacturers booming. Make no mistake, the selling parties like the G.Skills and Corsairs among us still have narrow profit margins. However, it all starts with the actual DRAM chip fabrication, and the parties like Samsung, Micron, SK Hynix have seen their profits increase massively due to the high demand and low volume availability. Though it is expected that prices will stabilize next year, this year has seen an increase in demand by close to 75%.

 

 

RAM sales are projected to grow by 65 percent year-over-year in the fourth quarter to reach an all-time high of $21.1 billion, according to IC Insights. DRAM sales have established a new all-time high in each quarter of 2017. 2017 will mark the fourth time since 1993 that DRAM sales have grown by more than 50 percent in a year. Between 1993 and this year, the market has grown by an average of 13 percent per year, according to IC Insights. The history of DRAM has been a continual boom and bust cycle. IC Insights said the DRAM market will likely experience a decline — possibly a large decline — in the near future as DRAM makers expand capacity and increase output over the next two years.

My Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB kit is amongst that total,all of us "upgrading" our AMD Ryzen systems must have had a fair impact on sales...

I guess that's pretty obvious.
The prices made by Ram brands right now are outrageous.

I really doubt there is still shortage in NANDs development after 2 years, I think they are trying to get the maximum profit possible by simulating an extended shortage of the NAND Production.

Just 65% , they are not trying enough , RAM should go up at least 200% :eek: :eek:

As long as the manufacturers don't create ODREC, Organisation of the DRAM Exporting Corporations, and agree on production cuts and increases for all eternity to keep prices up.

What are you talking about Memory prices only doubled in price??? The 32Gb DDR4 GSkill kit I bought back in May 2016 for $100 is now selling for $400. The prices already increased by 4x and continuing to rise. I suspect the only shortage is a manufactured fixed decrease in production. Back with original DDR manufactures claimed supply demand changes and increased prices by 4-5x higher and found out by class action lawsuit that ruled all major manufactures were guilty of colluding increase prices fixing. Hmmmmm, this all major manufacture “shortage” seems familiar and is history repeating itself?
