Market Trends of Global Standalone Memory Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Standalone Memory Market according to our research experts:
Automotive Expected to Witness Significant Market Share
- The applications of standalone memory are spanning in the automotive sector due to the rise of self-driving cars and ADAS integration, among others. The advancement in the automotive sector has driven the adoption of high-performance memory, which supports the market's growth.
- The core of autonomous vehicles will be advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with multiple sensors (AVs). Vehicles will increasingly be designed to collect, analyze, and store data locally and selectively upload data at the optimal period. This will necessitate the vehicle's installation of data storage and computing equipment. The core of autonomous vehicles will be advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with multiple sensors (AVs). Vehicles will increasingly be designed to collect, analyze, and store data locally and selectively upload data at the optimal period.
- The significant growth in the automotive sector alongside the integration and demand for memory devices is analyzed to boost the market growth rate during the forecast period. For instance, In July 2021, Fujitsu began mass production of 4Mbit FRAM that can operate at 125°C and is automotive grade. This FRAM product meets the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification criteria for "automotive grade" components, suitable for industrial robots and automotive applications such as advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that demand high-reliability electronic components.
- Also, In December 2021, Samsung began mass production of comprehensive automotive memory solutions for next-generation autonomous electric vehicles. Samsung Electronics has released a broad range of advanced automotive memory solutions for next-generation self-driving cars. For high-performance infotainment systems, the new lineup includes a 256-gigabyte (GB) PCIe Gen3 NVMe ball grid array (BGA) SSD, 2GB GDDR6 DRAM, 2GB DDR4 DRAM, 2GB GDDR6 DRAM, and 128GB Universal Flash Storage (UFS) for autonomous driving systems.
- The market focuses on automotive DRAMs, and various innovations are witnessed in the segment. For instance, in February 2021, Micron Technology, Inc. announced the launch of the automotive low-power DDR5 DRAM (LPDDR5) memory that has been hardware-tested to achieve the most stringent Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL), ASIL D. Micron's new portfolio of memory and storage products based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 26262 standard is aimed at functional vehicle safety.

Asia Pacific Expected to Witness Significant Market Share
- The semiconductor manufacturing market in Asia Pacific is the most significant in the region, driving the consumer electronics market. The presence and demand from various manufacturing sectors such as consumer electronics, automotive, and so on in the countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are analyzed to bolster the demand for standalone memory in the region.
- eMemory has made a long-term investment in China and partnered with foundry partners to implement various embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) on multiple platforms, ranging from mature to advanced nodes, using one-time programmable (OTP) and multiple-times programmable (MTP) solutions. In Q3/2021, eMemory launched its initial ReRAM IP on UMC's 40nm ULP (ultra-low power) process, and it is currently researching a 22nm version.
- India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) stated that the country's electronics hardware production stood at USD 63.39 billion in 2021. Moreover, according to India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA), India has the potential to achieve a value of USD 100 billion in manufacturing of laptops and tablets by 2025. It is analyzed to boost the demand for memory devices, contributing to the market growth rate during the forecast period.
- According to Invest in India, a National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, India's automotive industry is valued at more than USD100 billion, produces 8% of total exports, accounts for 2.3% of GDP, and is on pace to become the global third-largest by 2025. In December 2021, Hyundai announced an investment of USD 530.25 million in R&D in India to launch six EVs by 2028. In October 2021, Tata Motors stated that private equity firm TPG and Abu Dhabi's ADQ had agreed to spend USD 1 billion in its electric vehicle sector. These factors collectively contribute to the market growth rate during the forecast period.
