With applications such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, smart cars and high-speed computing accelerating the diversified development of the semiconductor industry, DRAM has become a key component of electronic products, driving the memory market to surpass 50% this year.
Looking forward to 2018, South Asia expects DRAM capital expenditures are mainly used for advanced process conversion and maintain the original monthly production capacity, DRAM bit annual growth rate of 20% to 25%, is expected in 2018 demand will grow 23% over 2017, expected 2018 Year DRAM market will continue to maintain a steady trend.
The global semiconductor market is expected to grow significantly by 20% in 2017 to $ 411.1 billion. The memory market will grow by as much as 57% year-on-year to $ 126 billion. In 2017, the memory market will account for 31% of the semiconductor market.
The memory market surpassed $ 120 billion in 2017. It is estimated that the DRAM market will grow by 67% in 2017 and the output value will reach 68.5 billion U.S. dollars. The NAND Flash market is expected to grow by 51% in 2017 with an output value of 53.5 billion U.S. dollars. DRAM and NAND market share The total output value of 97%.
In terms of the capital expenditures in the memory industry, NAND capital expenditures continued to rise sharply as needed to expand 3D NAND capacity. Relatively speaking, DRAM capital expenditures were mainly used for advanced process conversion and maintain the original monthly production capacity; South Asia predicts that 2018 Year DRAM growth rate of 20% to 25%, the second half of 2018 will have additional capacity of DRAM production, NAND bit annual growth rate of 40% to 45%; estimated 2018 global DRAM average monthly production capacity will be from In 2013, 1.133 million chips were slightly raised to 1.21 million in 2018, and the DRAM market is expected to be balanced and healthy in 2018.
