DRAM Systems Applications: Where Do All the DRAM Go?

It is not a surprise that this year the DRAM market will fall below 2008 levels for both units and revenues. Semico Research Corp. is forecasting DRAM revenues to decline in excess of 20%, while unit volumes will only drop 6% compared to last year. However, the DRAM market will rebound next year. Semico predicts DRAM revenue growth of 26% and unit volume to increase over 50% in 2010. A key question is “Where will all the DRAM go?”

Semico has published a new report that identifies the top 29 end markets that are consuming DRAM. These markets include 12 consumer, 8 computing, 5 wireless communication and 4 wired communication applications. In addition, the report analyzes the major DRAM manufacturers and the overall market conditions. The information is presented in Excel spreadsheets as well as a written report.
