According to foreign media reports, the market for memory chips used in mobile devices this year is expected to rise by 71%. According to the latest report from the research firm IHS iSuppli, this is mainly due to the evolving demand for mobile phones and tablets.
According to IHS iSuppli's research, such strong demand growth has brought huge "benefits" to memory chip manufacturers, but this will eventually lead to a gradual reduction in profits, and the product will become more commoditized in two to three years.
Mike Howard, an analyst at iSuppli, said: "Compared with the weak performance of the overall DRAM market, the growth of mobile DRAM is surging. This is mainly attributable to smart phones, which continue to spread on the one hand and raise public appetites on the other. Apple's iPad."
Researchers had predicted that mobile memory chips will reach 2.9 billion gigabits in 2011 and grow by 20.5 billion gigabits in 2015. It is estimated that the smart phone DRAM usage will be 36 times more than in 2009 in 2014. Like DRAM used in computers, DRAM in mobile electronics also facilitates rapid storage and use.
At the same time, due to the use of tablet PCs like Apple’s iPad, the use of tablet PCs is expected to increase by five times, and the upcoming Google’s Android operating system products will consume more and more storage.
Researchers predict that tablet computers with greater entertainment capabilities will generate more storage functionality than personal computers. IHS iSuppli said that NAND consumption is expected to increase by 382% to 2.3 billion gigabits, and eventually reach 12.3 billion gigabits in 2014. NAND storage is used to store content such as books, photos, music, and movies.
