Memory storage industry will welcome rise in Q2 of 2019

Since the fourth quarter of last year, the price of DRAM memory has begun to fall, now the price of one single 8GB DDR4 memory is less than 350 Yuan, and the cost of memory storage in the first quarter of this year will continue to fall, but the second quarter is likely to be a turning point.

There is high possibility to see the rising of Memory storage in next quarter of 2019, as high-end devices will be launched, all of them have high demand in memory storage. Therefore, the demands will turn better.

Taiwan Finance News interviewed Li Peiying, general manager of South Asia. He said that the global environment in 2019 was a slowdown in economic development, and the uncertainty of trade disputes between China and the United States leaded to everyone's plans turning to be conservative. In addition, the problem of Intel CPU shortage has not been completely solved, and affects the production of PC. Affected by these factors, the memory industry becomes depressed in the first half of this year. However, the shipments in the traditional peak season should improve by the third quarter, Intel CPU shipments are also tending to be normal, and memory storage demand in the second half will be better than in the first half.

The second quarter could be a turning point, as the decline in market demand had began since the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter of last year, and the decline in the server market was the worst in this downward cycle. Demand for storage memory in the server market fell sharply in the fourth quarter of 2018, but there is a chance for demand to rebound in the second quarter of this year, at the same time the decline in memory prices may narrow, but the price trend in the second quarter should keep dropping. The possibility of stopping the decline is small, but the price of memory may enter into the rising cycle again in the third quarter, so people who want to buy memory should look for the right time to start.

It will be excellent opportunity for Memory industry in Q2 of 2019, although it is hard to see rapid rise, the memory market still can welcome one circle of high demands. Let’s look forward to the new situation of Memory storage market.
