North Huaqiang merchants claim that storage prices are "daily prices", with institutions expecting the upward trend to continue in the fourth quarter.

In the recent period, the continuous increase in storage prices has attracted widespread attention. On social media, with the sharp rise in prices, "hoarding memory" has become a hot topic of discussion. According to First Financial, many memory prices started to rise significantly in September and have continued to do so. A merchant in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei told reporters that they have felt the trend of rising prices for all memory chips since August, and the price increase has also affected the prices of mobile flash memory, causing prices to fluctuate every day, overall trending upward. In August, the price of a DDR4 8GB memory stick could be as low as below 90 yuan, but within a month, it rose to 100-130 yuan. Datong Securities pointed out that as AI-generated content evolves from its initial singular form to more complex forms such as songs, videos, and even multi-language videos, data capacity is experiencing explosive growth. With the strong demand for AI driving it, storage prices are expected to continue to rise by the fourth quarter of 2025.
