Shenzhen Huaqiangbei now has a memory module clearance sale, with some models dropping nearly 30% in price within a week, according to merchants.

Today, during a visit to the Shenzhen Huaqiangbei electronics market, I learned that since last week, the spot prices of DDR5 memory modules have fallen noticeably. Among them, last week’s 32G DDR5 memory modules, priced at about 3,000 yuan per stick, this week are quoted with a price drop ranging from 500 to 1,050 yuan per stick. “I just sold off a batch of products at a price of 2,500 yuan per stick.” A merchant said that some DDR5 products are currently in a clear-out sale, and even another merchant said the clearance price is 1,950 yuan per stick. As for expectations for the future, views among interviewed merchants differ: some think there may still be a downward trend, while others believe that due to upstream price support for this round of price cuts, the decline may be difficult to sustain. A person from a listed company that has a memory module business said that this round of sell-offs may be related to weak market demand such as short-term system builds and downstream merchants’ desire for rapid inventory turnover, but the lack of price rebound will not affect the upward trend of the entire storage industry, including memory modules.
