Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst type, the 32 MB segment held a prominent share of the market in 2020”
Based on type, the market is segmented into 1 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB, 32 MB, and others. The 32 MB segment catered to a significant share of the market in 2020. This is mainly due to the various features of 32 MB such as continuous read of entire memory via a single command, flexible to fit application, 64-byte, user-lockable, one-time programmable (OTP) dedicated area, write protection, more than 20 years data retention, minimum 100,000 ERASE cycles per sector, and erase capability. Moreover, the increasing production of serial NOR flash memory devices is further contributing to the growth of this segment. For instance, in 2021 Macronix International began volume production of the industry’s first high-speed 1.2V serial NOR flash memory device. These high-speed, ultra-low-power (ULP) serial NOR flash memories target Internet of Things (IoT) designs, wireless communication technologies such as 5G, WiFi, and narrowband IoT systems, handheld and Bluetooth devices, and consumer applications.
“Amongst end-user industry, information and communication technology segment held a significant share of the market in 2020”
By end-user industry, the market is classified into information and communication technology, automotive, consumer electronics, and others. The information and communication technology segment held a prominent share of the market in 2020 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for semiconductor chips and the growing use and market sizes of electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, scientific instruments, and medical devices. For instance, according to the Department of Pharmaceuticals of India, the medical devices industry in India is poised for significant growth with the market size expected to reach USD 50 Bn by 2030.
“North America held a notable share of the market in 2020”
North America captured a commendable share of the market in 2020. The region’s large share can be attributed to the growing investment of the key market players in the semiconductor industry for the research and development of semiconductor devices. Additionally, the presence of a large semiconductor and chip industry is also contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, the United States semiconductor companies invested about a fifth of their annual revenue in R&D in 2021, reaching a record USD 50.2 Bn.
