Lexar is the latest company to announce a price increase on storage products, following similar moves from ProGrade and OWC earlier this month.<\/a> According to reports, Lexar will raise prices on SD and microSD cards by more than 25% starting June 1, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The increase comes amid a growing global flash memory shortage that is already affecting pricing and availability across the photography industry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flash Memory Prices Continue to Climb<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The situation has escalated quickly over the past few months. Sony recently announced that it would stop selling most of its memory card lineup<\/a>, while LaCie also increased pricing<\/a> on storage products by as much as 12%.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the issue is tied to the massive demand for NAND flash memory from AI companies and hyperscale data centers. Enterprise storage infrastructure for AI workloads is consuming huge amounts of flash memory, driving NAND prices significantly higher.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supply Issues Are Affecting Camera Gear Too<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As NAND wafer and contract pricing continue to rise, manufacturers are facing tighter supply chains and reduced inventory. That\u2019s starting to trickle down into consumer products like SD cards, CFexpress cards, SSDs, and external drives.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For photographers and videographers, this likely means storage products will continue getting more expensive throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
