Research house TrendForce says the 2H22 NAND market has deteriorated sharply, with the acute correction in purchase order demand for smartphones and laptops leading to market oversupply. As manufacturers have already implemented a strategy of maintaining market share at all costs, contract and spot market wafer pricing are facing collapse in Q4, and NAND wafer pricing may drop by another 20 percent, the analyst said. If some manufacturers do not make production cuts, there is an increased possibility that another wave of consolidation in the market may be triggered.
