NAND Flash wafer prices are expected to rise

As the original manufacturers prioritized releasing production capacity to terminal applications, the module manufacturers' shipping space was squeezed and wafer inventory increased. Considering the weakening demand for NAND Flash products for consumer electronics in the terminal market, some module manufacturers tended to be conservative in wafer stocking in the third quarter. Wafer prices are expected to rise by 8% to 13% in the third quarter.
