As demand grows for low-power MRAM variants, the market anticipates significant growth in NAND and other segments. Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The low power consumption is notably driving the market growth. The technologies are mainly used in battery-powered wireless sensors, as they consume about 50% less power than other flash memories. This increases the battery life, which enables OEMs to integrate this technology into devices. Moreover, the module has advanced features such as faster access time and non-volatile data storage when compared to other technologies.
SRAM retains data bits in its memory as long as power is being supplied. It does not have to be periodically refreshed. STT MRAM has replaced SRAM, which is used as cache memory. For wireless and portable applications, especially IoT, energy budget is critical. Hence, engineers need to consider the rate of power consumption of devices. Technologies with fast-write and power-up-to-write times, reduce power consumption compared with EEPROM or flash. This, in turn, creates a demand for the modules. These factors attract device manufacturers and end-users. Therefore, low power consumption is expected to fuel the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The integration of MRAM in smartphones is a key trend in the market. During the forecast period, the integration into smartphones will provide various advantages. For example, the technology retains data when the power is removed. It also offers a higher read-write speed when compared to other technologies such as Flash and EEPROM. This data does not degrade over time. In addition, it consumes low power.
In 2021, there were about two billion smartphone users across the world. The growth in the number of smartphone devices is directly proportional to several factors, such as technology and innovations. Vendors such as Avalanche Technology Inc., Everspin Technologies Inc., Renesas Electronics Corp., Honeywell International Inc., and Teledyne Technologies Inc. are conducting research on technology. This is expected to lead to the development of low-capacity memory chips for IoT sensors and mobile devices. Therefore, the integration in smartphones is expected to drive the growth of the global magneto-resistive RAM market during the forecast period.
Memory density issues may impede market growth. MRAM has a lower density than other memory technologies, including Dynamic random-access memory and Flash Memory. MRAM uses magnetic fields to store data and requires more space than electrical charges used in other memory technologies. This limits the amount of memory that can be stored in a given space, which makes it more expensive to manufacture when compared to other memory technologies.
The size of the memory cells is another factor that restricts their memory density. The cells are larger than DRAM and Flash memory cells, which indicates that fewer cells can be packed into a given space. This reduces the overall memory density. In addition, memory density is critical to the global memory market, and the lack of memory density can challenge its adoption. This is evident for applications that require high memory density, including servers, data centers, and other large-scale applications. These factors are expected to hinder the growth of the global magneto-resistive RAM market during the forecast period.
