Market Report on Global and China Memory Industry [2014-2015]

Dec., 28, 2015, Mumbai, India: Market Reports on China presents the report, on “Market Report on Global and China Memory Industry [2014-2015]”. The memory industry can be divided into two camps: South Korean camp and Japanese/American/Taiwanese camp.

Global and China Memory Industry Report, 2014-2015 covers the followings:
1. Memory technology trends
2. Memory market
3. Memory industry
4. 19 typical memory industry chain vendors

After two years of recession, the global memory market went forward by leaps and bounds in 2013-2014, with scale up more than 20% for two consecutive years i.e. 20.5% in 2013, 22.1% in 2014, the highest growth rate among all semiconductor products. "http://www.marketreportsonchina.com/technology-media-market-research-reports-2506/memory-china-technology.html" In 2015, the growth rate slows evidently, only 2.3%, and the memory market size is expected to reach USD83.8 billion.

Causes for the decline in growth rate are the followings. The first comes to the falling prices of DRAM. DRAM price began to rise from October 2012, a trend lasting till June 2014, resulting in increased supply and a balance between supply and demand. However, spot prices of DRAM started falling in July 2014.

Second, the demand dropped. Smartphone growth slowed down, the shipment of tablet PC dived and that of desktop PC fell as well. As the world is just stuck in an ill-defined economic recovery, Chinas economy has seen a slowdown in growth rate, with a sharper decline to occur in its demand in 2016, and so will smartphones then. With the commissioning of new capacities of major memory vendors, especially in the NAND field, the price will fall more than expected. The memory industry will probably suffer another recession in 2016, down 3.1%.

The memory industry can be divided into two camps: South Korean camp and Japanese/American/Taiwanese camp. Taiwan has good scientific research base, enjoying a sound relationship with Japan; technologically...
