Important Market Update: Memory & Storage Pricing

We wanted to share a quick update regarding current market conditions that may influence hardware pricing in the coming weeks. We believe in keeping you fully informed so you can plan your IT purchases with confidence.

What’s Happening?

Rising Memory & Storage Costs: Towards the end of 2025, we noticed global price increases in RAM and storage, a trend that has continued into early 2026. AI and large data centres are growing rapidly and require massive amounts of specialised chips. Because production capacity is limited, this means there are fewer chips available for standard consumer products like laptops and PCs.

Following recent talks with our key vendors and partners, we expect these component increases to start affecting wider hardware categories shortly. Naturally, we are working hard to minimise the effect this has on you.

What This Means for You

Rising Costs: Component and system prices have already started to climb, and we expect this to continue through 2026.
Limited Availability: Higher-capacity memory and storage options may become harder to source as global demand overtakes production.
Long-Term Outlook: Market analysts anticipate these conditions will remain consistent for the remainder of the year.
