Samsung exiting soon – DDR4 shortage intensifies – Act now and stock up!

Samsung is planning to withdraw from DDR4 production by the end of 2025. However, other manufacturers have also already reduced their production capacity. The result: the DDR4 market is coming under increasing pressure. The shortage is already in full swing and the current supply can no longer keep up with rising demand.

Right now, quotes are in some cases only valid for a week, which clearly reflects the market uncertainty. Lead times are currently around 30 weeks, for Micron even up to 50 weeks for distributors. Only direct customers are still being served somewhat faster.

Nanya has partly increased prices by up to 80% since Q1 2025 and other vendors are also reacting with price hikes and limited availability. A noticeable improvement from planned capacity expansions, for example at Micron, is not expected before late 2026.
