According to experts from DRAMeXchange, shipments of flash memory on the global market in the second quarter of 2011 due to an earthquake in Japan will be reduced by less than 4%.
Meanwhile, the average contract prices for major products - MLC NAND chip with density of 16 and 32 Gbps - in the first half of March increased by 5.4%, to $ 3.66 and $ 5.66 respectively. The price for 64 Gbps chips increased even more with price change of 8%, to $ 10.12.
According to observers, the price growth is not associated with events in Japan and concerns regarding possible shortages.
After the news about earthquake in Japan the prices went up, and then prices started lowering after March the 16th. Prices for MLC NAND chips with density of 16 and 32 Gbit fell by 5,5% and 3,8%, to $ 4.66 and $ 6.01 in just one day.
