After five years of brutal price competition and near-bankruptcies, global memory chipmakers – the ones that are left – can finally look forward to a more stable market.
(...) The number of suppliers, however, has now shrunk to only three: Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron Technology.
They expect supply to remain tight amid strong demand for mobile D-Ram memory chips used in smartphones and other #mobile devices, even though production is now normalised at Hynix’s fire-hit Wuxi plant in China, which produces 15 per cent of global D-Ram chips.
