Printers will become more expensive due to rising prices for RAM

Printer manufacturers said that they began to run out of RAM for their devices. It may

lead to higher prices for printers.

Problems with RAM in the market are due to a shortage of semiconductor components. And it happened because demand exceeded supply.

In the flash market, the median price of DDR4 memory is reported to have risen 60% year-to-date. Market participants fear that this situation could affect printer manufacturers.

Meanwhile, the demand for printers is growing. The reason for this is remote work and study. Due to changes in demand, printer manufacturers have turned to the flash market for memory.

How much printers can rise in price is not yet clear. The deficit will last at least until June.
