Core Viewpoint - The memory market is experiencing a price surge, with expectations of a 20% to 50% increase in the fourth quarter following a 70% increase in contract prices for Nanya Technology in the third quarter [2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The demand for memory products, particularly driven by AI, is significantly increasing, leading to a fundamental shift in the global memory supply-demand structure [2]. - Major manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and ChangXin Storage are closing DDR4 production lines, resulting in a projected reduction of global DDR4 capacity to only 25% to 33% of the first quarter of 2025 by the fourth quarter of 2026 [2]. Group 2: Competitive Landscape - Taiwanese manufacturers Nanya Technology and Winbond are increasing their DDR4 production capacity by 50% and introducing new products, positioning themselves to fill the gap left by international competitors [3]. - By the second half of 2026, the top two suppliers in the DDR4 market are expected to shift from "Samsung and SK Hynix" to "Samsung and Nanya Technology," indicating a growing influence of Taiwanese companies in this sector [3]. Group 3: Demand Trends - Despite the rapid upgrade to DDR5 in high-end PCs and smartphones, demand for DDR4 remains strong in budget smartphones and various consumer electronics, ensuring a steady market for DDR4 products [3]. - The DDR4 and DDR3 markets are anticipated to see continued price increases due to the established supply-demand gap, further enhancing the operational momentum of Taiwanese manufacturers [3].
