The shrinking NAND Flash production costs resulting from the NAND Flash industry's improving technology are expected to boost demand for various end products, including SSDs and eMMCs, according to DRAMeXchange, a research division of TrendForce. NAND Flash industry value is expected to rise consistently in 2015, reaching as high as US$ 27.6 billion on annual growth of 12%.
Worldwide mobile DRAM revenue increased by 6% to US$3.46 billion in the third quarter, representing 29% of DRAM industry value, according to DRAMeXchange, a division of Taiwan-based market intelligence firm TrendForce. As global DRAM supply remains tight, despite a slight decline in mobile memory prices, industry value still rose in the third quarter on the back of increased bit output.
The contract price uptrend that persisted for almost half a year in the DRAM market has officially ended this month, according to DRAMeXchange, a division of the Taiwan-based market intelligence firm TrendForce. The average contract prices for DDR3 4GB modules dropped an estimated 3.1% in in the first half of November, ending at around US$ 31.75, while the highest contract prices fell from US$33.5 to US$32, showing a drop of 4.5%.
China's GDP showed tremendous growth over the years thanks to the country's positive market developments and economic policies. The business potential of the country's massive consumer market also grew as PC, smartphone, and tablet manufacturers began setting their sights on the country.
Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron, the world’s top three global memory manufacturers, boosted production capacity in the third quarter to meet Apple’s immense demand for mobile memory as it launched the iPhone 6, according to DRAMeXchange, a division of the Taiwan-based market intelligence firm TrendForce. The reduction in commodity DRAM production caused contract prices to rise, and commodity memory products had the highest margins in the third quarter.
