Global Value of NAND Flash Market

2015 – 2025F (US$ billions)

Proof Point Findings

  • NAND Flash – Re-writable non-volatile memory similar to hard disk drive, retaining data when power is turned off and offering faster erase, write, and read capabilities than NOR flash memory
  • Market Value Growth – Global value of NAND flash devices expected to grow 9.6% annually from $32.1 billion in 2015 to $80.3 billion by 2025
  • 2D and 3D Composition – 2D architecture NAND flash made up 90% of market in 2015, but 3D designs are expected to offset 2D architectures by 2020, with 3D taking up to 79% of value of NAND flash market by 2025
  • 3D NAND Flash Manufacturers – Include Samsung with VNAND (Vertical NAND) architecture, Toshiba’s BiCS (Bit Cost Scalable), and Intel and Micron’s 3D XPoint structures
  • Key Drivers – Include growth in sales of mobile devices, shorter replacement cycles for mobile, expanding use of mobile in emerging markets, higher media consumption driving greater image and video use, and increased use of applications in devices
