Big news from the semiconductor world Samsung is reportedly raising DRAM prices by 15–30% and NAND prices by 5–10% in Q4 2025.
This follows Micron’s similar move, and together they’re signaling something bigger:
➡️ AI demand is exploding.
➡️ DDR4 is being phased out.
➡️ Supply for older chips is tightening fast.
From a trade and manufacturing perspective, this isn’t just a price story it’s a shift in how the global supply chain operates. When component costs rise, it impacts everything from production budgets to client pricing and even project feasibility.
As someone working in international trade and industrial marketing, I see this as a reminder to:
➡️ Strengthen supplier relationships
➡️ Diversify sourcing options
➡️ Stay alert to market signals
Meanwhile, NAND makers are betting big on QLC SSDs, which could see massive growth by 2026 as AI infrastructure keeps expanding.
In short the AI boom isn’t just reshaping tech; it’s redefining how we think about cost, capacity, and competition in manufacturing.
