SK hynix China eSSD pricing curbs near key expiry at end-2026
With memory prices rising, SK hynix faces a growth inflection as China’s five-year restrictions on its enterprise SSD (eSSD) pricing near a turning point at end-2026. The curbs limit price increases for PCIe and SATA eSSDs under terms tied to prior averages, reflecting SAMR competition concerns. If lifted, SK hynix could better align China NAND output and pricing with AI-driven demand.
