The global Memory Chip market size was US$ 125890 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 232900 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 9.3% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Memory chips are the specific application of the concept of embedded system chips in the storage industry. By embedding software in a single chip, it achieves multi-function and high performance, as well as support for multiple protocols, multiple hardware and different applications. It uses magnetic materials or semiconductors as media for information storage and is an important branch of the semiconductor industry. The main function of memory chips is to store and retrieve data in computer systems so that they can be quickly accessed and processed when needed. It is a key component for realizing data storage and retrieval functions, and is of great significance for improving the performance and stability of computer systems.
With the rapid development of technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for data storage has surged. The growing demand for data storage and processing capabilities from enterprises and service providers has driven the demand for higher performance and larger storage capacity chips. At the same time, AI and machine learning require the processing and storage of large amounts of data, which places higher performance and capacity requirements on storage chips.
With the popularity of consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, the demand for storage chips continues to grow. In particular, the requirements for storage performance of high-end smartphones and game consoles continue to increase, and the demand for high-performance and high-capacity storage of gaming devices (such as game consoles, PCs, and virtual reality devices) is increasing, driving the market demand for solid-state drives (SSDs) and memory chips.
With the development of autonomous driving, Internet of Vehicles, and new energy vehicles, the improvement of the level of intelligent driving technology requires storage chips to have faster data processing speeds and larger data storage. Therefore, the automotive industry's demand for memory is increasing day by day, becoming an important emerging growth point in storage chips and an important force in determining the market structure. The realization of automotive intelligence requires more environmental perception. As sensors and more MCUs are integrated into the system, the data and program storage of each functional unit of automotive electronics requires higher-performance flash memory, resulting in a massive increase in the demand for non-volatile memory devices.
