Why USB Flash Drive Prices Are Rising in 2025 — What It Means ...

www.usbmakers.com

Recent reports highlight several critical trends that point to a severe supply-demand imbalance: The CEO of Phison revealed that NAND flash memory prices have doubled in only three months, signalling a sharp and unexpected rise. Major manufacturers are fully sold out for 2026, meaning new purchases now won’t be fulfilled for well over a year. Industry experts predict that this cycle may last well into 2026 — and possibly longer. ... AI demand is not slowing down. Manufacturers know demand is strong — and they’re pricing accordingly. With contracts locked out to 2026, suppliers feel no pressure to lower prices. Contract trends suggest that many hardware companies will have to raise retail prices in Q1/Q2 2026.
