WebFeet Research finds 2012 Flash Memory Components Market Revenues Slightly Less

Monterey, CA - April 17, 2013 – After conducting its annual tabulation of each Flash memory vendor’s quarterly shipments, WebFeet Research, a thirteen  year old memory and storage market research company, has found the 2012 Flash memory market to be $27.7 billion, an decrease of -3.3% from 2011.  A slight increase in 2012 revenues came from the NAND Flash market, while the NOR market contracted dramatically from 2011. Samsung was once again the 2012 revenue market leader for all NV Memories and NAND, Micron remained the NOR market leader, and Winbond took over as the serial NOR leader for this small NOR centric market.

WebFeet Research utilizes its Flash Memory Reporting Association to consolidate the reported shipments from the seventeen Flash manufacturers.  Both the Toshiba and SanDisk shipments are calculated separately from each other and do not include any portion of the other’s component revenues.  In this consolidation, the Flash memory component shipments are segmented by NOR, serial NOR, MLC NOR, Combo NOR, and by NAND, MLC NAND, 3-bit/cell NAND, and Combo NAND for all capacities: 512Kbit-128Gbits for standalone components and 8Mbit – 64Gbit for the Combo (Flash + xRAM) or MCP devices. 

   

The 2012 Non Volatile Memory Market Shares by Vendor report, CS700MS-2013, includes market shares by vendor for total Non Volatile Memory, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, serial NOR Flash, total EEPROM, serial EEPROM, parallel EEPROM, OTP ROM (EPROM and Mask ROM), and NVRAM (BBSRAM, NVSRAM, RTC, MRAM, FeRAM, PCM, RRAM and Others).  Annual revenue forecasts are provided from 2011-2018 for the EEPROM, OTP ROM, and NVRAM markets. In addition, the NVSRAM market shares are broken out by vendor for Real Time Clocks (RTC) and NVSRAM from 2007-2012.  This report, CS700MS-2013, is available for $2.5K and for providers of the market share data they can obtain the report with a $500 discount.  WebFeet Research also has forecast the serial EEPROM and the NVSRAM (BBSRAM/nvSRAM, RTC) from 2010-2018 by density for revenue, units, and ASPs, and for the serial EEPROM by interface type.  Each of these additional forecasts are priced at $500 and come in excel format.
