Market Segmentation
“Global Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
| Market Breakup | Categories |
| Architecture | DDR3, DDR4, DDR5, DDR2, Others |
| Application | Smartphones/Tablets, PC/Laptop, Gaming Console, Networking Device, Others |
| End-Use | Automotive, IT and Telecom, Media and Entertainment, Medical, Consumer Electronics, Others |
| Region | North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa |
The growing popularity of high-end smartphones/tablets is likely to boost the market expansion
Smartphones/tablets accounts for a healthy share of the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) market. DRAM is the main source of memory, which enables users to access data with ease on smartphones and tablets. The increasing sale of smartphones and tablets is escalating the incorporation of DRAM in these devices, thereby invigorating the segment’s growth.
DRAM provides higher density, which means that more data can be stored in less space, making its applications in smartphones and tablets more productive as well as efficient without increasing size. Moreover, a larger DRAM boosts the capability of a smartphone to host more applications.
DDR5 architecture is anticipated to find increased applications during the forecast period
DDR4, introduced in 2014, marked another leap in performance and efficiency, with reduced voltage (1.2V) and higher speed. It offers increased transfer rates, starting at 2133 MHz and extending beyond 3200 MHz, with theoretical limits much higher. This architecture of DRAM is expected to account for a majority portion of the market share owing to the improved reliability, capacity, and power efficiency provided through features like DBI (Data Bus Inversion), CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check).
Meanwhile, the latest generation DDR5, introduced in the market in 2020-2021, brings significant upgrades. DDR5 aims to double the bandwidth and density over DDR4, supporting data rates far beyond 4800 MHz and operating at a slightly reduced voltage of 1.1V. Additionally, architectural changes such as dual channel architecture are expected to surge the demand for DDR5.
