What happened
Second-hand 16GB DDR4 prices in Shenzhen have dropped over 30% from their peak, though they remain five to six times higher than a year ago. While AI demand continues to tighten supply and drive up contract prices, spot market easing is dampening consumer PC building demand. TrendForce forecasts DRAM supply will remain tight in Q3 2026, though contract price increases are expected to moderate to 13-18% QoQ.
