Global DRAM Market Report 2014-2018 with Micron Technology, Nanya Technology, Samsung Electronics Co, SK Hynix, Winbond Electronics Dominating
M2 - Mon May 19, 9:04AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zcsg3m/global_dram) has announced the addition of the "Global DRAM Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global DRAM market for the period 2014-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of DRAMs for devices such as PCs, smartphones, tablets, laptops, ultrabooks, portable gaming devices, MP3 players, and PDAs. The Global DRAM market is witnessing increasing consolidation, which is expected to continue during the forecast period. Existing vendors and new entrants are both taking the acquisitive route to either enter the market or broaden product offerings. For instance, Micron Technology Inc., which was ranked fourth in the market, acquired Elpida Inc., which was ranked third, in July 2013. With this acquisition, Micron is expected to strengthen its foothold in the market. Thus, the increasing number of mergers and acquisitions is expected to help in the market growth. The growth of the Global DRAM market is driven by several factors, one such key driver being the increasing adoption of DRAMs in smartphones. After computers, smartphones are the major application device for DRAMs, which are also contributing to the development of smartphones with high memory capacities. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges is the declining ASP of DRAMs, which has an adverse effect on the profitability of the market vendors, decelerating the market growth. Key Vendors - Micron Technology Inc. - Nanya Technology Corp. - Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. - SK Hynix Inc. - Winbond Electronics Corp. Other Prominent Vendors - Powerchip Technology Corp. - ProMOS Technologies Inc. Key Market Drivers/Trends/Challenges - Increasing Adoption of DRAMs in Smartphones. - Declining ASP of DRAMs. - Increasing Number of Mergers and Acquisitions.

Next Generation Memory Technologies Market (Non-volatile and Volatile) - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019
M2 - Fri May 16, 8:21AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/47zmf8/next_generation) has announced the addition of the "Next Generation Memory Technologies Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. Next generation memory technologies include emerging memory solutions that have been introduced in the market in the recent past or are expected to be launched during the period 2013 to 2019. These memories compete with older memories such as flash, DRAM and SRAM on the basis of speed, scalability and cost. The total global market for next generation memory technologies stood at USD 207.8 million in 2012 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 46.1% during the period 2013 to 2019. Emerging memory solutions are experiencing growth in demand due to their potential for better speed and higher scalability. The market has witnessed significant uptake for non-volatile emerging memory solutions as compared to volatile memory solutions. This is due to an inherent benefit offered by non-volatile memories: retention of data without the need of power. Among all non-volatile emerging memory solutions, FeRAM (ferroelectric RAM), MRAM (magneto-resistive RAM) and PCM (phase change memory) had significant market shares in 2012. Other emerging memory technologies include ReRAM (resistive RAM) and CBRAM (conductive bridging RAM). With increase in adoption of MRAM and PCM memory, cache memory and enterprise storage is anticipated to be the largest market segment by application for next generation memory technologies. Use of emerging memories is expected to improve the input/output (I/O) performance of the enterprise storage systems. Major interface technologies being deployed across the memory market include double data rate (DDR) interface, SATA (Serial ATA), SAS (serial attached small computer system interface), PCIe (peripheral component interconnect express) and I2C (inter integrated circuit). DDR interface includes DDR 1/2/3/4 and LPDDR. DDR interfaces find application in storage, especially SSDs (solid-state drives). DDR was the dominant interface technology being deployed with next generation memory technologies and held 47.6% share in 2012. North America was the largest market in 2012, followed by Europe. Rise in demand for memory technologies offering lower cost per bit and demand for faster mobile memory chips are important trends in the North American region. Europe experienced growth in next generation memory technologies due to increasing volatility in the market and decline in average selling prices for existing memories. This has led to a rise in interest in more sustainable memory options. Growth in the Asia Pacific region is led by demand from Japan, China and South Korea.
