Memory Market Analysis
The Memory Market size is estimated at USD 148.95 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 215.13 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.63% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 pandemic across the globe significantly disrupted the supply chain and production of the market studies in the initial phase of 2020. For fabrication units, this impact was more severe. Owing to the labor shortages, many of the package, assembly, and testing plants in the Asia Pacific region reduced and even suspended operations. This created a bottleneck for end-user companies that depend on semiconductors. More recently, COVID-19-related lockdowns in China again disrupted the Global Memory Market supply chain. In December 2021, Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology, two of the world's largest memory chip producers, warned that strict COVID-19 curbs and lockdowns in the Chinese city of Xian might disrupt their chip manufacturing bases in the area. According to Micron Technology, the lockdowns could cause delays in the supply of DRAM memory chips, widely used in data centers.
The memory market is witnessing rapid growth, with semiconductors emerging as the basic building blocks of most modern technologies. The innovations and advancements in this market are resulting in a direct impact on all downstream technologies.
The National Cable and Telecommunications Association projected that the number of connected devices in 2020 will be around 50.1 billion. Every IoT or IIoTdevice contains sophisticated semiconductor memory chips that permit devices to achieve remote connectivity. Moreover, as the IoT is poised to grow significantly, it is expected to impact the growth of the memory market as well.
By 2025, the market is set to experience significant benefits from the ongoing development and innovation in the automotive industry, connectivity, communications, and data centers. The rise in the consumption of electronic components used in the navigation of safety, infotainment, and automobiles further contributes to the market's growth.
Semiconductor memory products are used extensively across electronic devices, such as smartphones, flat-screen monitors, LED TVs, and civil aerospace and military systems. The memory industry is also likely to benefit from progress in biometrics capabilities. The growing demand for smartphones and technologically advanced products, such as wearable gadgets, etc., is also accelerating the growth of the market studied.
Further, several vendors are investing in this technology to gain an advantage. For instance, in April 2022, Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that provides advanced design and validation solutions, announced that SK Hynix selected Keysight's integrated peripheral component to interconnect express (PCIe) 5.0 test platforms for speeding up the development of memory semiconductors used for designing advanced products capable of managing huge data and supporting high data speeds and.
