Market Share of Non-Volatile Memory Industry
The non-volatile memory market is competitive and consists of several major players. The competitive rivalry in this industry is primarily dependent on sustainable competitive advantage through innovation, levels of market penetration, and power of competitive strategy. Since the market is capital intensive, the barriers to exit are high as well. Some of the major players operating in the market include Rohm Co. Ltd, STMicroelectronics NV, Fujitsu ltd, and Intel Corporation. Some of the recent developments in the market are:
- January 2022 - SK Hynix Inc. announced the completion of the first phase of the transaction to acquire Intel's NAND and solid-state drive (SSD) business. According to the company, it has closed the first phase of the transaction by acquiring Intel's SSD business and the Dalian NAND flash manufacturing facility in China.
- October 2021 - NSCore Inc. introduced OTP+, One-Time-Programmable Plus, a non-volatile memory solution for IoT technology applications. According to the company, the 40 nm Ultra-Low-Power OTP NVM IP Solution can minimize the need to re-spin the fabrication of an IoT chip, which is critical in the emerging market. In addition, the NSCore OTP+ solution can be reprogramed and modified, unlike standard OTP Ip solutions.
- July 2021 - Micron Technology announced that it began mass shipping the world's first 176-layer NAND Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 3.1 mobile solution. Designed for high-end and flagship phones, Micron's UFS 3.1 discrete mobile NAND memory unlocks the potential of 5G with sequential write and random read speeds of up to 75% compared to previous generations.
