COVID-19 Scenario Analysis:
- Global MLC NAND memory market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. New projects throughout the world have stalled, which, in turn, have led to decline in demand for analog semiconductors.
- Global factories have struggled to integrate new MLC NAND memory as workers have stayed in their homes, which disrupted the global supply chains.
- The impact of COVID-19 on this market is temporary as just the production and supply chain is stalled. Once the situation improves, production, supply chains, and demand for MLC NAND memory are gradually going to increase.
- This COVID-19 lockdown would help companies think about more advanced MLC NAND memory to enhance efficiency.
Top Impacting Factors
The major drivers for the MLC NAND Memory market growth are the increasing usage of smartphones, PC’s and tablets. These are expected to drive the market further as well due to the importance of storage capacity and memory packaging in these devices. Also, the other devices such as cameras, industrial wearables, automation systems, medical devices and others will enhance the market growth. As the demand for machine learning applications and the data processing for AI grows, the trend for this market will continue to evolve.
New Product Launches to Flourish the MLC NAND Memory Market
There are several new products launched by key market players in market. Recently, samples of the solution products based on 128-layer 4D MLC NAND were delivered by SK Hynix in 2019. This helped them strengthen their competitiveness in the memory business. Due to this, 1 tera byte could be manufactured with a package thickness of 1 mm when compared with 512 GB MLC NAND.
Thus, the number of chips on the product halved, which is appropriate for ultra-thin 5G smartphones. New smartphones equipped with this product are expected to cater future market. Thus, this product flourished the market as it was able to provide higher density storage and memory packaging in minimum space.
Surge in Usage in Agricultural and Electronic Industry
Increasing usage of IOT in agricultural activities has led to the increase in the requirement for better computing systems. This has led to the requirement of permanent storage device which indeed has boosted demand for the MLC NAND Memory in this industry.
Moreover, as it exceeds the DRAM performance, it, usage has increased in electronic industry. Also, it consumes less power and decoding is easier in these MLC NAND Memories. This has led to its increase in usage in agricultural and electronic industry.
