Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Hardware team said: ”The Global DRAM market is witnessing increasing consolidation, which is expected to continue during the forecast period. Existing vendors and new entrants are considering the acquisitive route to either enter the market or broaden their portfolio of offerings. For instance, Micron Technology is expected to complete the acquisition of Elpida by the end of 2013. Currently, Micron Technology is ranked fourth and Elpida third in the Global DRAM market. With this acquisition, Micron Technology is expected to emerge as the second-largest vendor in the Global DRAM market. Thus, the increasing number of mergers and acquisitions is expected to augur well for the growth of the market during the forecast period.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increasing adoption of DRAMs in smartphones. Smartphones provide the highest growth potential for the Global DRAM market, as the use of DRAM content in smartphones is increasing with the development of smartphones with higher memory.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the declining ASP of DRAMs since 2010. The declining ASP of DRAMs has had a negative impact on the profitability of the vendors, thereby stunting the growth of this market.
