This DRAM module and component market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The dram module and component market size has grown marginally in recent years. It will grow from $97.12 billion in 2024 to $98.49 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased consumer electronics adoption, growth in data center infrastructure, growth in the gaming industry, globalization of electronics manufacturing, demand for high-bandwidth memory
The dram module and component market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $110.47 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of edge computing, demand for low-power DRAM, increasing adoption of wearables, focus on quantum computing development, supply chain resilience and security concerns. Major trends in the forecast period include transition to ddr5 technology, rising adoption of ai and machine learning, mobile devices driving lpddr5 adoption, advancements in 3D NAND technology, market consolidation and partnerships.
The anticipated growth in the DRAM module and component market is expected to be propelled by the increased utilization of smartphones. These mobile devices, known for their advanced features and cutting-edge technology, typically integrate DRAM modules into the system-on-a-chip (SoC) of high-end smartphones or place them on the main logic board, contributing to reduced power consumption in the battery. As of February 2023, reported by Uswitch Limited, the UK experienced a 3.8% increase in mobile connections in 2022, totaling 71.8 million connections. The data further projects that approximately 95% of the UK population, or around 65 million individuals, will own a smartphone by 2025. Consequently, the heightened use of smartphones acts as a driving force for the growth of the DRAM module and component market.
The emergence of 5G technology is expected to bolster the DRAM module and component market during the forecast period. The introduction of the 5G cellular network has expanded the capacity of the information superhighway, allowing vast amounts of data to be transmitted more quickly and freely, thereby reducing congestion. The growing demand for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and mobile devices has heightened the need for additional memory, driving the expansion of the DRAM market. For example, in March 2024, The House of Commons Library reported that as of September 2023, between 85% and 93% of UK premises had access to outdoor 5G coverage from at least one operator. The estimated potential cumulative gross value added (GVA) from 2021 to 2035 is projected to be between $53 billion and $303 billion, depending on the level of 5G adoption. Thus, the increasing adoption of 5G technology is anticipated to be a key driver for the DRAM module and component market.
Technological advancement stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the DRAM module and component market. Leading companies within this market segment are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies to fortify their positions. An illustrative example is NEO Semiconductor, a US-based firm specializing in the design and development of architectures for 3D NAND flash and other memory systems. In 2023, NEO Semiconductor introduced its groundbreaking 3D X-DRAM technology, marking a significant milestone in the memory industry. This revolutionary technology presents various advantages, including the world's first 3D NAND-such as DRAM cell array structure, a 128 Gb density with 230 layers (eight times higher than current DRAM density), simplified manufacturing and scaling processes, reduced risk and cost compared to alternative 3D DRAM approaches, high yields, and a self-aligned, 3D NAND-such as process. The 3D X-DRAM technology aims to address DRAM's capacity bottleneck, potentially replacing the entire 2D DRAM market. This solution streamlines process steps while delivering a high-speed, high-density, low-cost, and high-yield outcome.
Companies engaged in the DRAM module and component market are actively embracing cutting-edge technologies, such as LPDDR5 DRAM chips, to maintain their market positions. LPDDR5 DRAM chips represent a type of random-access memory (RAM) that offers enhanced performance and lower power consumption compared to preceding generations of DDR memory. For instance, in November 2023, ChangXin Memory Technology (CXMT), a China-based semiconductor integrated device manufacturer, unveiled LPDDR5 DRAM chips, including 12GB LPDDR5 dies, 6GB DSC packaging LPDDR5 mobile DRAM, and 12GB POP packaging LPDDR5 mobile DRAM. These LPDDR5 DRAM chips are tailored for affordable smartphones and other low-power devices, providing CXMT with a diversified product portfolio and expanding its footprint in the burgeoning mobile market. The launch of CXMT's LPDDR5 DRAM chips represents a significant breakthrough for the company, which had previously focused on producing LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X for System-on-Chip (SoC) applications.
In January 2023, Novosense Microelectronics, a China-based company specializing in highly robust and reliable analog and mixed-signal IC design, acquired KT Micro for an undisclosed amount.
