TrendForce analysts predict the DRAM supply shortage will persist until 2027, with price increases expected to continue through the second half of that year. BOCOM International also believes the overall memory market supply-demand imbalance could last until the fourth quarter of 2027, and even if prices later decline, the changes are likely to be more moderate than in previous cycles.
