The firm anticipates that prices for niche DRAM will still have room to rise in 2026. Beyond 2027, as incremental capacity from major players in the niche DRAM market comes online, prices may enter a phase of high-level volatility. While a moderate correction from peak levels is possible, prices are expected to remain elevated.
