TrendForce's latest memory-price survey: DRAM market will remain extremely tight in Q3 2026, but weaker consumer demand and a high base will narrow contract-price gains to about 13-18% QoQ. NAND Flash demand is still led by AI inference and large data-center builds, yet contract prices are at historical highs and consumer-side price tolerance is reaching limits; TrendForce forecasts NAND contract prices will rise 10-15% QoQ, a marked slowdown versus prior quarters.
