The Global Non-Volatile Memory Market is estimated to reach a valuation of US$ 70.3 billion in 2023 from US$ 64.5 billion registered in 2022. It is likely to witness a CAGR of 8.0% from 2023 to 2033. The market is predicted to be valued at US$ 152.0 billion by 2033.
Since the previous decade, the semiconductor industry has become increasingly interested in non-volatile memory (NVM) solutions for bulk storage applications due to expansion of the portable systems market. The non-volatile memory industry is expanding owing to surging demand for reduced power consumption, rapid memory management, and high efficiency.
Users across the globe want their devices to continuously increase in terms of power, offer new capabilities at lightning speeds, and store more music, movies, & images in the booming consumer electronics market. Despite the fact that flash has significantly facilitated innovation over the past few decades, it is reaching its scaling limits and needs to be replaced with a new wave of memory.
Due to its low cost and reduced power consumption, flash memory is becoming increasingly common in consumer devices, which is important for the market's expansion. In wearable technology and smartphones, non-volatile memory is utilized to increase storage capacity and speed up memory access.
The market's expansion is also being fueled by a rising amount of research being done in this area. For instance, Infineon Technologies LLC announced the release of second-generation non-volatile Static random access memories in March 2021.
They are compliant with high-reliability industrial specifications and QML-Q. They are also primarily intended to support non-volatile code storage in challenging environments such as industrial and aerospace applications.
Similar to this, Samsung said in early 2021 that it had improved the magnetic tunnel junctions function of its magneto resistive random access memory and had upgraded its 14 nm technology to accommodate its flash-type integrated magneto resistive random access memory. It was intended to boost write speed and density. The business also aims to use the upcoming NVM IC in internet of things devices, microcontrollers, and wearables.
