7x increase in memory costs fueling price increases in ISP-provided routers, gateways, and set-top boxes — home fiber rollouts may slow, and installations could become more expensive
Counterpoint reports a 7x increase in memory costs for ISP-provided routers, gateways, and set-top boxes, raising its share of the BOM from 3% to 20%. The surge, driven by supply constraints and the phase-out of DDR4, is expected to last through at least June. Bullish: Direct, quantified price pressure on consumer-grade DDR4/LPDDR4 memory, likely to be passed on to OEMs and consumers.
