The dram module and component market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent times, the market size for dram module and components has seen a minor increase. The market, valued at $97.12 billion in 2024, is projected to escalate to $98.49 billion in 2025, presenting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.4%.
The historical growth of the market can be attributed to factors such as enhanced adoption of consumer electronics, expansion of data center infrastructure, growth in the gaming industry, the globalization of electronics manufacturing, and a rise in the demand for high-bandwidth memory.
The dram module and component market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size of the dram module and component is projected to experience consistent growth. An increase to $110.47 billion, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9%,
is expected by 2029. The factors contributing to this growth in the predicted period include the surge in edge computing, the rising demand for low-power DRAM, the growing acceptance of wearables, emphasis on the evolution of quantum computing, resilience in the supply chain, and security considerations. Trends to watch out for in this period are the move towards ddr5 technology, the increasing adoption of AI and machine learning, the drive towards lpddr5 adoption by mobile devices, advances in 3D NAND technology, and market consolidation coupled with partnerships.
The proliferation of smartphone usage is projected to stimulate the expansion of the DRAM module and component market. Smartphones are mobile gadgets that provide sophisticated features, premium efficiency, and state-of-the-art technology. In premium smartphones, DRAM modules are typically incorporated into the device's system-on-a-chip (SoC) or positioned on the primary logic board, leading to a reduction in battery power usage. For instance, Uswitch Limited, a Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, stated in February 2023 that the UK had 71.8 million mobile connections in 2022. By 2025, 95% of the UK population, approximately 65 million individuals, will possess a smartphone. As such, the escalating usage of smartphones is fuelling the growth of the DRAM module and component market.

Trends of technology progression are becoming increasingly prevalent in the DRAM module and component market. Firms operating in this space are concentrating their efforts on the invention of novel technologies as a strategy to maintain their market foothold. For example, NEO Semiconductor, a US establishment that specializes in the design and creation of systems for 3D NAND flash and other forms of memory, broke new ground in 2023 with the launch of its 3D X-DRAM technology. This innovation represents a major milestone in the memory industry. The technology boasts multiple advantages such as the first-ever 3D NAND-like DRAM cell array structure, an 8-fold increase in DRAM density with a 128 Gb capacity across 230 layers, enhanced scalability and manufacturing ease, and a reduced risk and cost as compared to 3D DRAM alternatives. It also offers high yield and a self-aligned, 3D NAND-like process. The 3D X-DRAM technology is designed to address the capacity limitation inherent in DRAM and potentially serve as a replacement for the entire 2D DRAM market. It simplifies processing steps and delivers a solution that is high speed, high density, cost-effective, and high yield.
