Segmental Analysis
The global flash memory market has been segmented based on Type, Component, Application, and region.
Based on component, the global market has been segmented into Memory Chips, Flash Controller. The memory chips segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019; it is expected to register a CAGR of 5.07% during the forecast period. Flash memory chips are programmable chips that can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte. These chips are non-volatile and do not need a constant power supply to retain their data. Flash memory chips offer extremely fast access most of the time with low power consumption and are immune to shock or vibration. A flash controller is an important component of flash memory that helps in communicating with the host device, managing the flash file system directory. It provides an easy interface to access NAND flash memory devices. Flash memory also helps to correct the 1-bit error and detect 2-bit errors.
By application, the market has been segmented Smartphone, Digital Camera, USB Flash Drives, Solid-State Drives, Tablet Laptops, Gaming Consoles, Media Players, and Others. The smartphone segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019. The demand for smartphones has been growing at a tremendous rate in the past decade¸ due to the numerous features it offers to its users. Flash memories form an integral part of smartphones to store essential data without requiring power. Photography, both professional and personal, is among one of the most sought-after careers globally. And due to technological development in the sector, numerous digital cameras are now available in the global market. USB flash drives are removable, rewritable, and are very small in size, making it an efficient data storage device. USB flash drives are typically used for data storage, data transfer, and data backup. Solid-state drives are primarily used in computers to store data. They have been widely adopted in computers due to the numerous attributes of solid-state drives including shock resistance, silent operation, and quick access time. The demand for tablets laptops has grown substantially in the last decade for both professional and personal use.
By end-user, the market has been segmented enterprise, industrial, individual/personal. Individual/personal segment accounted for the largest market share in 2019. Companies are increasingly being dependent on flash drives for the storage of essential organizational data. Companies irrelevant of their size store data daily on flash drives for future use or reference. Industrial automation has been growing at a significant rate in the global market, and industries are increasingly being dependent on computers and related equipment for performing operations. Personal use of electronics and electrical equipment has grown significantly in the last decade.
The global flash memory market, by region, has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East Africa, and Central South America. Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest market share of 35.78% in 2019; the market is expected to register the CAGR of 6.25% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific held the largest market size in 2019 and is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period. North America is a prominent region in the flash memory market owing to the increasing adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rising number of data centers. Moreover, North America is a significant contributor to the growth of global NAND and NOR flash market owing to the presence of key players such as Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Micron Technology, Inc., and Integrated Silicon Solution Inc.
