A DRAM (dynamic random access memory) module and component refers to a type of computer memory that is commonly used as the main memory in most computers and electronic devices. It is a volatile memory, which means that it requires a constant electrical charge to retain data.
The main DRAM module and component types are DDR2 DRAM, DDR3 DRAM, DDR4 DRAM, DDR5 DRAM, LPDRAM, GDDR, HBM, and others. DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DRAM refers to a module, which is a small circuit board that contains multiple DDR2 memory chips that offer higher data transfer rates, increased capacities, and improved power efficiency. The memory types are 1GB, 2GB, 3-4GB, 6-8GB, and ABOVE 8GB which are used in consumer electronics, mobile devices, servers, computers, automobiles, and others.
The global DRAM module and component market is segmented -
1) By Type: DDR2 DRAM, DDR3 DRAM, DDR4 DRAM, DDR5 DRAM, LPDRAM, GDDR, HBM, Other Types
2) By Memory: Upto 1GB, 2GB, 3-4GB, 6-8GB, Above 8GB
3) By End-User Industries: Consumer Electronics, Mobile Devices, Servers, Computers, Automobiles, Other End Users
The global DRAM module and component market is expected to grow from $94.26 billion in 2022 to $96.63 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The DRAM module and component market is expected to reach $105.52 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 2.2%.
The increased use of smartphones is expected to propel the growth of the DRAM module and component market going forward. Smartphones are mobile devices that offer advanced features, superior performance, and cutting-edge technology. In high-end smartphones, DRAM modules are typically integrated into the device's system-on-a-chip (SoC) or placed on the main logic board, which reduces power consumption in the battery. For instance, in February 2023, according to Uswitch Limited, a UK-based financial conduct authority, in 2022, there were 71.8 million mobile connections in the UK, a 3.8% (or around 2.6 million) increase over 2021. The 95% (or around 65 million individuals) UK population will own a smartphone by 2025. Therefore, the increased use of smartphones is driving the growth of the DRAM module and component market.
Major players in the DRAM module and component market are Samsung Electronics Co Ltd., SK Hynix Inc., Micron Technology Inc., Super Micro Computer Inc., Winbond Electronics Corporation, Powerchip Technology Corporation, ADATA Technology Co Ltd., Smart Modular Technologies Inc., Nanya Technology Corporation, Kingston Technology Corporation, Team Group Inc., Corsair Gaming Inc., Innodisk Corporation, Apacer Technology Inc., Super Talent Technology Corporation, PNY Technologies Inc., Silicon Power Computer & Communications Inc., Patriot Memory Inc., Transcend Information Inc., ATP Electronics Inc., Avant Technology Inc., VisionTek Products LLC, G.Skill International Enterprise Co.

Product innovation is a key trend gaining popularity in the DRAM module and component market. Companies operating in the DRAM module and component market are adopting new technologies to sustain their position in the market. For instance, in October 2020, SK Hynix Inc., a South Korea-based dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips provider, launched DDR5 DRAM. DDR5 DRAM is a high-speed and high-density product customized for big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). It is the next-generation standard of DRAM. DDR5 can transport data at a speed of 4,800 to 5,600 megabits per second (Mbps), which is 1.8 times faster. With a 5,600 Mbps transfer rate, it can send nine full-HD (FHD) movies, weighing 5GB apiece, per second. Its operational voltage has been decreased from 1.2 volts to 1.1 volts.
In April 2020, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor company, acquired Cypress Semiconductor Corporation for $9 billion. The acquisition will provide a comprehensive portfolio in the market for bridging the physical and digital worlds and influencing digitalization, one of the most significant global developments. Cypress Semiconductor is a US-based semiconductor manufacturing company that manufactures F-RAM, SRAM, DRAM, and components.
