The contract prices for DRAM could rise by 50% this quarter

Here’s the hot topic at the moment. With CES 2026 approaching, the global memory shortage is on everyone’s lips. The consequences are likely to be disastrous for certain brands, but also (and above all) for consumers faced with ever-higher prices.

According to an analysis by DRAMeXchange, DRAM contract prices could rise by up to 50% in the first quarter of 2026. Manufacturers are currently trying to secure long-term agreements with memory suppliers. The aim is to build up sufficient stocks for the rest of the current year. The report indicates that major desktop computer manufacturers only have a few weeks’ worth of DRAM stock left.

Brands such as Lenovo and Dell are already anticipating price increases this quarter. This will have an impact on the upcoming products of these multinationals. The memory shortage is expected to continue, and customers will likely bear the brunt of the cost.
