Memory chip prices keep climbing, and Team Group says this cycle is different

Sep 11, 2026

Memory prices are still rising with no sign of stopping, which is great news for chip makers and bad news for anyone building PCs, servers, or phones.

  • Taiwanese memory module maker Team Group says prices keep going up and the trend has not broken yet.
  • Its August sales jumped sharply from July and nearly quadrupled from a year ago, the third-best month in company history.
  • Sales for the first eight months are up 87% from last year.
  • Demand from servers and business-grade memory is driving the squeeze, as AI spreads into more kinds of hardware.
  • The company is steering money toward edge computing, industrial PCs, and security gear to ride that spread.

Outlook: Memory prices look set to stay high into the coming months, keeping costs up for device makers and margins fat for suppliers.
