Taiwanese NAND flash demand reported to exceed supply by 20-25%
As Digitimes reports, referring to Power
Quotient International president Richard Lee, the NAND flash demand in
Taiwan is exceeding supply by 20-25%. This is expected to last until year-end, as the global supply continues to shrink.
Manufacturers of products that require NAND flash are concerned about
the shortage and say their shipments will be seriously affected, if major
suppliers like Samsung Electronics and Toshiba are not able to increase supply in the
near future.
The strong demand for memory has pushed prices for 1Gb NAND flash to US$26
recently from about US$16 in May, according to local memory distributors. Despite
the surging prices, some local module traders have been forced reportedly to
reduce shipments due to the insufficient supply.
