Micron Technology(US:MU) 财联社·2025-11-12 10:21Core Viewpoint - The NAND flash memory market is experiencing a significant price increase, driven by major manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Kioxia, who are planning to raise prices by 20% to 30% after a year of stagnant prices at cost levels [4][5]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Major storage manufacturers are reducing NAND flash supply in the second half of the year to stimulate price increases [5]. - North American tech companies are engaging in panic buying due to fears of soaring NAND prices, leading to some suppliers having their 2024 supply already booked [6]. - The average selling price of NAND products is rapidly increasing, with a strong demand shift towards the spot market as smaller buyers struggle to secure supplies from manufacturers [7]. Group 2: Production Adjustments - Samsung has lowered its NAND wafer production target from 5.07 million units last year to approximately 4.72 million units this year, a reduction of about 7% [6]. - Kioxia has also adjusted its production target down from 4.8 million units to 4.69 million units [6]. - SK Hynix's NAND production has decreased from 2.01 million units last year to around 1.8 million units, reflecting a decline of about 10% [6].
