According to DIGITIMES, the memory module manufacturer said that Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and micron technology have all expanded their ddr5 chip production, aiming to accelerate the industry's transition from DDR4 to ddr5 DRAM. The source said that the supply of ddr5 memory has been tight, but has recently stabilized, adding that suppliers have begun to increase their ddr5 chip production.

However, sources pointed out that the growth rate of games and industrial equipment applications in ddr5 was lower than expected. Because compared with DDR4, the price of ddr5 memory is very high.
The source said that Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and micron technology all began mass production of ddr5 chips in the second half of 2021, and regarded 2022 as a warm-up year for ddr5.
Sources pointed out that although suppliers have expanded production, the market demand for ddr5 memory has been stagnant due to high prices. With the recent drop in DDR4 prices, downstream suppliers have a slow transition to ddr5.
The source said that despite this, chip suppliers are still encouraging their partners to promote ddr5 memory. Some memory module companies have launched a new generation of ddr5 devices for games and other high-performance applications.
According to the source, the price of ddr5 chip may decline and approach DDR4 chip by the end of 2022, which will greatly increase the penetration rate of ddr5 in 2023.
