Memory Devices Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type, Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Memory Devices Market is accounted for $170.51 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $508.71 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 16.9% during the forecast period. Memory devices, such as computer memory, are digital electronic semiconductor devices used for digital data storage. Data is often stored in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) memory cells on a silicon integrated circuit memory chip in such devices. Silicon, which is often mined from sand, is the starting point for these integrated circuits. Engineers, metallurgists, chemists, and physicists are all involved in the process of converting silicon into memory chips. Memory is manufactured in a massive facility known as a fab, which incorporates several clean room conditions. Even when there is no electricity, they do not lose or delete data or information. They can store large quantities of data and information while consuming very little power.

According to the US Department of Energy, there are about 3 million data centers in the United States.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Raising adoption of Internet of Things

The majority of emerging economies are focusing on digital awareness and digitalization. Many countries are actively implementing Internet of Things (IoT) technology on a big scale as part of the agenda. Smart and linked device systems are an important aspect of developing IoT projects since they encourage automation in everyday life. To store information and input and output data, the solutions require significant amounts of semiconductor memory. The worldwide market will be driven by the rapid adoption of these technologies in emerging economies.

Restraint:

High initial investments

Semiconductor memory devices are quickly gaining popularity. However, the initial investment necessary to establish any memory device manufacturing unit is too expensive. Wafers, MOSFETs, transistors, and cooling systems are among the more costly components used in these devices. This has a direct influence on the final product's selling price. Furthermore, the installation of manufacturing equipment for these memory devices takes time, which is impeding market growth.

Opportunity:

Rapid digitalization

The bulk of emerging economies are putting substantial effort into becoming digitally literate and digitizing their economies. Digitalization in memory device production enhances operational efficiency and enables automation. Rapid digitization and automation in the electronics sector, as well as the use of memory-based features in technologically sophisticated devices like as smartphones, wearables, and electronics, are driving market expansion.

Threat:

Shortage of raw material

Memory storage device and semiconductor makers rely largely on Chinese enterprises since the majority of the materials are sourced from China. The country was first devastated by the epidemic and put limitations on the local market, causing problems in the semiconductor supply chain. The pandemic effect has had a significant impact on the market, resulting in a scarcity of raw resources. This aspect is impeding market expansion.

COVID-19 Impact:

The global COVID-19 epidemic greatly impacted the supply chain and manufacturing of market research in the first half of 2020. This had a detrimental influence on global economic activity. The increase in COVID-19 instances in various nations has had an impact on market growth. The installation of abrupt lockdown limitations has forced the shutdown of several manufacturing units. Furthermore, the raw material supply chain, such as silicon, has been interrupted in various nations. Furthermore, many government agencies and important businesses are developing policies and plans to address the COVID-19 impact, which will drive market growth throughout the projection period.

The static random access memory (SRAM) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The static random access memory (SRAM) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. SRAM operates at a considerably quicker rate than DRAM. SRAM consumes less power and is used to provide speed-sensitive caching. The contents of SRAM do not need to be refreshed. SRAMs are more radiation resistant than DRAM. The segment's growth is being fuelled by its low power consumption, cache memory, and efficiency.

The consumer electronics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The consumer electronics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. A memory card is an electronic data storage device that commonly uses flash memory to store digital information. These are frequently seen in digital portable electronic gadgets. They enable additional memory to such devices by inserting a card into a socket rather than a protruding USB flash drive. The increased use of smart phones and digital cameras is driving the segment's rise.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increasing adoption of AI and the Internet of Things. Key corporations have also used a variety of business approaches, which has contributed to the area market's expansion. China is the country with the most revenue. China features some of the world's most modern manufacturing facilities. The Asian market is expected to grow considerably during the projected period due to the use of modern technologies in both personal computers and industries.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to rapidly changing technologies. High data creation across businesses is generating a demand in the country for more efficient processing solutions. With the introduction of mobile and low-power devices, as well as high-end data centers and massive on-chip caches, a new high-priority requirement emerged: non-volatile, dense, and low-energy-consuming memories. The United States has recovered its competitiveness in memory semiconductor manufacturing technologies, particularly in DRAM and 3D-NAND. The growing demand for data centers is driving up demand for memory components in the region.
