This growth is primarily driven by the increase in prices and shipments of DRAM products such as DDR4, DDR5, and HBM3E, while NAND prices are also stabilizing. The demand for AI-related storage applications is strong, and the limited growth in storage supply has led to a structural supply shortage of NAND and DRAM, which is expected to drive up storage prices in the fourth quarter According to the latest forecast from CFM for the flash memory market, in the second half of 2025, driven by the strong growth of DRAM ASP and bit shipments for DDR4, DDR5, and HBM3E, along with the continued stabilization of NAND prices, the global storage market size is expected to reach a record high of USD 193.2 billion in 2025. Analysts indicate that the demand for storage applications related to AI, represented by AI servers, remains robust, while the growth of original storage supply is limited, leading to varying degrees of structural supply shortages for both NAND and DRAM, which is expected to drive storage prices upward in the fourth quarter ### Related Stocks - [MU.US - Micron Tech](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MU.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | Micron vs. SanDisk: Which Memory Chip Stock Is the Better Buy Right Now? | The memory chip sector is currently facing a supply shortage, drawing attention to Micron Technology (MU) and SanDisk (S | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276064762.md) | | After A 170% Rally, Is Micron Stock Cheap? | Micron Technology's stock has surged 170% year-to-date, driven by AI infrastructure demand impacting the memory market. | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/269851481.md) | | Lisa Nandy paves the way for Telegraph sale | Lisa Nandy has authorized Lord Rothermere's DMGT to proceed with a £500m takeover of The Telegraph by lifting legal rest | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276371385.md) | | Why Smart Money Buys When AI Stocks Pull Back | Why Smart Money Buys When AI Stocks Pull Back | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276517144.md) | | Infosys Unveils AI First Value Framework: Uniquely Positioned to Capture New AI Services Opportunity of Over $300 Billion \| INFY Stock News | Infosys has launched its AI First Value Framework, aiming to unlock a $300-400 billion opportunity in AI services by 203 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276125574.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
