NAND Flash Prices: Outlook 3Q 2008

Saturday, 05 July 2008

Waiting for the Apple effect

It is with much anticipation that people active in the NAND flash industry, including wholesale traders, bulk resellers of flash memory and most other players in the USB flash drive business are waiting for the month of August to reveal new price movements and trends of NAND flash memory prices during 3Q.

Traditionally, the 3Q and it's price adjustments are looked upon as a indicator of how the 4Q, and with it eventually also the end-of-the-year seasonal sales is going to turn out. What we are waiting for is the so-called "Apple effect", when Apple starts to fix contractual purchase volumes of flash memory for new products such as e.g the iPhone, new iPods or this year's MacBook Air, and thereby dominate production capacities of some of the major flash memory producers such as Hynix or Samsung.

This has greatly effected spot market prices for NAND flash memory in previous years, but for this year the outcome is uncertain and mixed reports can be read around the internet and in the media.

Shipping & Taxes
Friday, 04 July 2008
Longer queues might lead to minor delays Certainly we're all looking forward to the Olympic Games this year in Beijing, and many traders and business people active in the China, as well as frequent travelers to the Mainland are anticipating not only the opening ceremony, but also the end of this big sports event and the return to business as usual. As general control tightens and affects already many aspects of daily life in China, such as stricter controls for travelers, limitations for domestic shipping etc, it is first since this last business week that we can report affects on foreign trade and exports from first-hand experience: Due to increased security controls also during export of products from China Mainland custom clearances and checks take longer time than before, leading to occasional delays and pilling up of consignments for clearance. Both ourselves and our partners from various other industries have been experiencing unexpected minor delays for some shipments. Fortunately, these delays are usually only an extra 1-2 days, but can still cause troubles and inconveniences for our customers who expect delivery of their customized USB flash drives right on time and as usual.

Referred to as Chinas economical powerhouse, the Pearl River Delta is known for its thousands of manufacturing enterprises and factories producing high-tech products, IT equipment and consumer electronics for worldwide exports.

Fortunately none of our main suppliers or partnering USB flash drive factories have been directly affected, but the entire province is experiencing transportation difficulties and economical losses due to the thunderstorms that are also starting to show impact on some of the local manufacturers and factories throughout the Pearl River Delta.
