DRAM industry Q1 revenue decreased by 21.2% month on month for three consecutive quarters showing a downward trend

According to TrendForce consulting research, the revenue of the DRAM industry in the first quarter of this year was approximately 9.66 billion US dollars, a decrease of 21.2% month on month, and has continued to decline for three more quarters. In terms of shipment volume, only Meiguang has increased, while the rest have declined; The average sales unit price of all three major manufacturers has decreased. At present, due to oversupply but not improvement, prices continue to decline. However, after the original factory gradually reduces production, the price decline of DRAM in the second half of the year is expected to converge quarter by quarter. Looking ahead to the second quarter, although the shipment volume has increased, prices continue to decline, so it is expected that revenue growth will be limited.
