SSD chip prices increased by 55% in the past six months, and competition among downstream manufacturers intensified
Affected by supply and demand, production capacity and other factors, SSD prices have continued to soar this week, and even memory cards are rising in price. Since the SSD price began to rise in May 2016, the price of a 120GB TLC SSD has risen from $25 to $37.5, a 50% increase; and the price of a 240GB TLC SSD has risen from $44 to $68, a 55% increase, which is very scary.
Even compared with the prices of last week, SSDs of all capacities have seen a significant increase. It can be seen that the lowest point was in late May 2016. From that moment on, SSDs were like a wild horse that could not be stopped, and they are still rising to this day.
240GB TLC SSD
In 2016, Samsung was still the leader in consumer SSD manufacturers, with a market share of 42%, followed by SanDisk, Kingston and Lite-On.
On February 14, the price of eMMC for embedded product storage, eMMC 16GB TLC product increased from US$3.45 to US$5.7, a 66% increase; 32GB increased from US$7 to US$9, a 29% increase.
Market share of major eMMC suppliers In the eMMC market, Samsung is still far ahead with a market share of 40.1%, followed by Toshiba and SanDisk, which are all major manufacturers of flash memory particles.
February 14th memory card price 2016 NAND flash memory products have been rebounding since the second quarter, and the magnitude and speed of the increase far exceeded market expectations, which has had a significant impact on the relevant industry market. According to the analysis of China's flash memory market, the continuous price increase will lead to competition for flash memory particles among downstream manufacturers, and only manufacturers with technology, brand and quality will survive in the end. In addition, the price increase will also lead to the suppression of the development speed of related markets, such as the speed of SSD replacing HDD, and the development speed of large-capacity flash memory products (such as 256GB or higher mobile phone storage space). Anyway, this wave of price increases will last at least until June 2017. Players who have installation needs in the near future do not need to wait and see SSD. It will be cheaper to buy it today than tomorrow!
