Institution: DDR2 contract prices are estimated to increase by about 55-60% in the second quarter, with a further expected rise of 35-40% in the third quarter.

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on June 26 that, according to the latest research from TrendForce, the structural tightening in the supply of mature process DRAM has forced Consumer DRAM buyers to use older generation products to obtain higher DRAM supply quotas. This has led to a new wave of procurement demand for older generation Consumer DRAM chips in the industry. As a result, the contract prices for Consumer DRAM chips such as DDR2 and DDR3 are expected to continue the upward momentum from the first quarter of 2026. It is estimated that the contract price of DDR2 will increase by about 55-60% in the second quarter and is expected to further rise by 35-40% in the third quarter.```
