Samsung Electronics has reportedly increased NAND flash memory prices by over 100% in Q1 2024, driven by strong demand for enterprise SSDs for AI infrastructure and on-device AI, coupled with limited supply growth. SK Hynix and SanDisk are also expected to implement similar price hikes, with the trend anticipated to continue into Q2. This is impacting the cost of AI infrastructure and potentially final product prices for devices using memory.
