NAND Flash Contract Price of 1H April Rose Due To Shipment Adjustment, states DRAMeXchange


17 April 2009 Semiconductors

Taipei, April,6th, 2009--- MLC NAND Flash contract price of 1H April, 2009, rose between 0 to 16% due to shipment adjustment from upstream NAND Flash suppliers, says DRAMeXchange.

Major NAND Flash suppliers tend to increase their shipment for system makers but decrease those for card and UFD clients. Mainstream MLC 16Gb and 32Gb products also rose between 8 to 13%.

In order to maintain the price stability and improve the profitability, most NAND Flash suppliers will not tend to increase their NAND Flash wafer production in 2Q09, according to DRAMeXchange.

Under restocking demand of short-term rush orders with limited supply increase, DRAMeXchange expects NAND Flash contract price to either remain at current price level or slightly rise in the short term.
