RAM prices are expected to double by the end of the year.

According to information from IT House on June 6th, according to external media Tom's Hardware today's (6th day) evening, Chris Summer, regional manager for Rexaa Australia and New Zealand, said that RAM prices were expected to double by the end of this year. The recent portion of the RAM model price appears to be stable, and there are retailers who promote it by discounting or bundling with other PC parts, but in his view it is more a way for traders to clean up their stocks and make room for more expensive new goods.

According to IT House, AI infrastructure is eating up the supply of memory chips. The three traditional suppliers, Samsung, SK Hercules and U.S.S.A., are almost fully equipped with high-bandwidth memory, and consumer-level markets are pushed back. RAM prices are continuing to rise as supplies continue to tighten.

In December 2025, the sapphire public relations manager Edward Krysler stated that DRAM prices could be stable six to eight months later, except that they would remain high when they were. However, the market situation has changed, and the industry is beginning to anticipate that memory prices will increase by the end of the year.

According to Chris Summer, industry costs usually take between 8 and 9 months to move to the consumer end, and the current market price trend is only one direction: to continue rising. When consumers see the RAM package broken, or when they see a retailer adjust the price, it is easy to assume that the price is starting to loosen, and in many cases the business “cleans up”. Businesses need to return cash, and space needs to be made available for new high-priced stocks to be delivered by suppliers.

In its view, there was another situation in the market: some distributors had access to low-priced stocks that had not been sold in other regions and could therefore be sold at lower prices in the short term. However, once these stocks are sold, retail prices will ultimately be pushed up by low supply and high demand.

Chris Sachs suggested that consumers who need to buy RAM now do it, not wait for the price to drop, because it is hard to see lower prices in the coming years.
