DRAM and NAND prices keep climbing in Q3 2026, but the increase is slowing

TrendForce expects contract prices for both DRAM and NAND to continue rising through the third quarter of 2026, but at a slower rate than the preceding quarters. Cost pressure remains acute for PC DRAM and client SSD buyers.

What we are not saying

We are publishing the direction and withholding the percentage. Secondary coverage of the forecast quotes ranges, but we have not been able to read the figures from TrendForce’s own report, and a number we cannot attribute to its primary source is not a number we will print. The percentage will appear here once the underlying report is accessed directly, with the window and cut date attached.

Direction only. See data methodology for why some figures stay blank.
