Just as the US Supreme Court is meeting to potentially decide the legal fate of the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, which has caused price increases for a wide range of cameras and video tech gear in the industry, another company has announced that more price increases are on the way.
ProGrade Digital has put out a statement on its Japanese website that it is raising the prices of its memory cards and other products. The company cites an increase in demand that has to do with AI infrastructure, which is further putting strain on an already stressed industry.
Here’s what you need to know about what price increases are coming and what customers should expect moving forward.
ProGrade Digital Memory Card Price Increases
According to a post on ProDigital’s website, the company is raising the regular prices on its flash memory cards, which it sells predominantly on Amazon. Here’s the full statement from the company:
“Due to the rapid increase in demand for semiconductor memory associated with the construction of AI infrastructure, and the resulting significant increase in flash memory prices, ProGrade Digital Inc. will raise the regular prices on the Amazon.co.jp ProGrade Digital Inc. store on January 8, 2026. At the same time, the exchange rate, currently $1 = 150 yen, will be changed to $1 = 155 yen to reflect the current situation. Please refer to the price list for the new regular prices.”
