A study by analyst firm TrendForce shows that sales of DRAM memory chips in the last quarter decreased by almost 6% compared to the third quarter. Analysts believe that the reason was the difficulty in the production of consumer electronics devices due to the lack of other chips. Under these conditions, manufacturers are less interested in stockpiling memory chips in relatively large quantities. This is most evident in the position of PC OEMs, who have 10 weeks or more of DRAM in stock. As a result, DRAM makers faced a decrease in orders in the fourth quarter of 2021, which in turn led to lower prices. According to TrendForce estimates, Q4 2021 DRAM output in monetary terms decreased by 5.8% compared to the third quarter, to $25.03 billion. At the same time, which suppliers, for example, SK hynix, on the contrary, were able to increase sales.

Samsung reduced sales by 9.4%, from 11.680 to 10.580 billion dollars. As a result, its share owned by it decreased from 44.0% to 42.3%. SK hynix increased sales by 2.8% from $7.225 billion to $7.426 billion. Its share increased from 27.2% to 29.7%. Micron cut sales by 8.3% from $6.091 billion to $5.587 billion. The share of Micron decreased from 22.9% to 22.3%. It is easy to calculate that the total share of these three companies at the end of the quarter is 94.3%.
