Memory prices rise 400% since 2024

The article reveals that RAM prices have returned to 2007 levels, having surged by 400% since the start of 2024, creating a significant bottleneck for the smart device industry. Experts, including SK Hynix's CEO and Tim Cook, anticipate that the crisis will worsen and persist beyond 2030, with Cook describing it as the "flood of the century" in memory prices. It is noted that the price of a 16GB DDR5 memory stick has reached $600, compared to just $100 in February 2025. This surge has also extended to solid-state drives and is affecting all tech products that rely on memory. Increasing production by three major companies is expected to help alleviate the crisis, but there is also a pressing need to innovate new methods to boost memory output or develop models that do not rely solely on traditional memory, and to consider how this will impact the prices of future products.
