Global Standalone Memory Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Product Type (DRAM, NAND, NOR, SRAM, Others), By End User (Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Others), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

Standalone Memory Market Size:

The global standalone memory market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.30% to reach USD 229.280 billion by 2030 from USD 153.894 billion in 2025.

Standalone memory refers to chip designs and fabrication methods specifically linked to magnetic random-access memory (MRAM), ferroelectric RAM, dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), and read-only memory. (ROM). These memories are found mostly in automobiles, consumer electronic devices, and many other industries. Despite the recession, the tendency toward home and remote working has increased demand for internet service providers (ISPs), IT infrastructure providers, and data centers, driving the standalone memory market growth. The increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the adoption of sensor technology in wearable and AI-enabled devices has increased demand for quick data transfers and high storage density, providing a significant opportunity for the global standalone memory market growth.

Standalone Memory Market Drivers:

• The rising demand for consumer electronics will boost the market growth

Consumer electronics make a major contribution to the market growth of standalone memory, and the DRAM type is among the most widely used memory systems in the consumer electronics industry. The potential of standalone memory has been increased by new memory technologies that enable more data to be stored at a lower cost than the costly silicon chips found in popular consumer electronics like mobile phones and tablets. The use of mobile and tablets is growing every day, which helps the global standalone memory market to grow rapidly. According to World Bank data, there will be 6.3 billion smartphone subscriptions by the end of 2021, accounting for approximately 77% of all mobile phone subscriptions. By 2027, this figure is projected to rise to 7.8 billion, accounting for 87% of all mobile users. As this smartphone subscription rises and the use of consumer electronic items increases, the need for integrating standalone memory to enhance consumer electronic products will also increase, boosting the global standalone memory market growth.

• Increasing demand in the automobile industry will boost market growth

Due to the expansion of ADAS integration and self-driving vehicles, among other factors, standalone memory applications are expanding in the automotive industry. High-performance memory adoption has been sparked by developments in the car industry, supporting the market's expansion. For the forecast period, it is determined that the substantial expansion of the automotive industry, integration, and demand for memory devices will accelerate market development. For instance, in July 2021, Fujitsu started mass producing 4Mbit FRAM that is suitable for automotive use and can function at 125°C and is for use in industrial robots and automotive uses like advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), which require high-reliability electronic components, this FRAM product satisfies the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification requirements for "automotive grade" components. As electric vehicle sales increase, the demand for standalone memory will also grow.  According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), despite supply chain delays and due to the COVID-19 epidemic, electric car sales set a new high in 2021. The sales nearly doubled to 6.6 million, showing a sales share of approximately 9% compared to 2020, increasing the total number of electric vehicles on the road to 16.5 million. According to the OICA data, the production of cars globally has increased from 57 086 075 units in 2021 to 61 598 650 units in 2022, showing a variation of an 8% increase. This demonstrates that demand for standalone memory will increase due to the increased development of memory chips for automotive and worldwide EV sales, which will drive market growth.

Standalone Memory Market Geographical Outlook:

• During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the market growth

The Asia Pacific region will dominate the standalone memory market during the forecasted period. The consumer electronics, automotive, and other industries in nations like China, India, Japan, and South Korea are studied to support the demand for standalone memory in the region. According to Invest in India, a National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency, India's automotive sector is worth more than USD100 billion, accounts for 8% of total exports and 2.3% of GDP and is on track to become the world's third-largest by 2025. The increasing investment by the market players in EV technology will also boost the demand for standalone memory. In December 2021, Hyundai declared a USD 530.25 million investment in R&D in India to launch six EVs by 2028. In October 2021, Tata Motors announced that private equity company TPG and Abu Dhabi's ADQ had agreed to invest USD 1 billion in its electric vehicle sector. These factors all add to market growth in the Asia Pacific region's growing auto sector, which will boost the standalone memory market growth.

Standalone Memory Market Key Developments:

• In May 2022, SK Hynix, a leading DRAM maker, launched the latest memory solutions for server applications, including DDR5 DIMM and next-generation technologies such as Processing in Memory (PiM) and Compute Express Link, at the Intel Vision conference. (CXL).
