Global Memory Price Tracker and Forecast, July 2026
Overview:
Memory price growth is expected to slow in Q3 2026, but pricing remains stronger than anticipated a month ago. Counterpoint Research has raised its Q3 DRAM price forecast from 5%–10% QoQ to 10%–20% QoQ as customers continue to pull forward orders. Micron's strong earnings and industry-leading margins have also reinforced market confidence and strengthened suppliers' pricing power, supporting further DRAM price increases during the quarter.
