Telecom Lead Team: Market research firm Research and Markets
predicts that the global DRAM market will see a decline at a CAGR of -1.4
Percent over the Period 2010-2014, as the average selling prices of the DRAM
are plunging.
However, the increasing sale of smartphones could drive
the DRAM market for growth. The Global DRAM market has also been witnessing the
DRAM buffers in the Solid State Drive market, the firm predicts.
The usage of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) is
increasing rapidly in smartphones due to the requirement of high memory
densities in these devices.
The shipments of DRAMs for use in smartphones are
expected to rise to 1.5 billion gigabits in 2011, up 150 percent from 660
million gigabits in 2010. In many of the recently released smartphones, the
usage of DRAM has been increased at much larger quantities.
Research and Markets reveals that Elpida Memory, Hynix Semiconductor, Micron Technology, and
Samsung Electronics are the key vendors dominating this market space.
DRAM solutions are used in several consumer electronics
devices such as digital TVs, DVD recorders, set-top boxes and digital cameras
etc. Vendors are increasingly offering consumer DRAM solutions that support all
consumer applications.
With convergence gaining importance like never before,
an expanding array of consumer electronics products requires many different
types of DRAM. Industry leading vendors are meeting this need with a broad and
improved range of DRAM solutions,” said an analyst from TechNavio’s Embedded
Systems team.
Additionally, the report finds that the adoption of cloud
computing with Increasing and Ultrabooks will affect DRAM Growth.
