Forecasts for the price decrease of RAM and SSD memories during 2019 thanks to a significant decrease in demand.
Interesting new data is coming on the price of DRAM and NAND Flash memory from DRAMeXchange for next year. According to the forecasts of this medium, there may be a notable drop in prices, firstly due to stagnation in orders due to minimal hardware innovations and inflated prices, secondly due to the server market and lastly due to the shortage of Intel processors to develop laptops and desktops. These three parameters would cause an oversupply of RAM and SSDs in 2019.
There is speculation about a possible reduction in the price of RAM and SSDs in 2019.

The demand of the server market that caused an increase in DRAM memory has caused manufacturers to increase production, but before the stop in demand, there may be a sharp decline in prices during the next two quarters to output so much of RAM memories.
Additionally, in 2019, manufacturers are conservative but production would increase by 22% due to a possible new increase in demand for servers that would begin in the first quarter of next year but would not affect the fall in prices that is estimated to be possible. make between 15-20% or more during the next year if the demand is less than expected.
The market for NAND Flash memory could also see prices drop in a possible global economic downturn (a major economic downturn is expected next year) the US-China trade war and lower demand from businesses and users.
No change in demand for SSDs is expected for the server and data center segment, which is stable at the moment and will remain stable for at least a few more months. They would be affected by the market downturn but a lot of competition would cause a significant price drop in the next year.
Prices can also be reduced thanks to the production of 3-layer 96D NAND memories that will offer an increase in the capacity of SSDs for less price. A price decrease between 25-30% is expected for next year with an increase of 5% in the interannual production of NAND Flash and that in the case of 3D NAND it could go up to 20%.
