Top Impacting Factors

The factors such as growing space constraints on the semiconductor wafer, high performance and low latency, positive environmental impact of 3D NAND flash memory, precision required at the time of manufacturing, high manufacturing cost, and rising internet of things are expected to significantly affect the growth of the global 3D NAND flash memory market. These factors are anticipated to either drive or hamper the market growth.

3D NAND flash memory market top impacting factor

Growing space constraints on the semiconductor wafer

Over the past few years, the demand for smaller memory chips had propelled due to advancement in electronics and products. However, reducing the chip size or the device dimensions any further had become very difficult as it was two-dimensional. To manage the space constraints and the aforementioned issues, the memory cells of 3D NAND flash memory technology are stacked in vertical layers, leading to increased transistor density per area while not expanding the chip diameter. This is validated by Moore’s law that states the number of transistors on the densely integrated circuit doubles every two years. Moreover, with the technological advancements, increase in demand for storage space in much smaller chips by various smart devices is expected to be the major driver for the global market.

High manufacturing cost

The cost of manufacturing the 3D NAND flash memory chips is higher than conventional storage solutions such as external hard disks or 2D NAND flash memory chips. This can be attributed to the complexity in technology as it requires extremely high degree of precision for manufacturing. Consequently, the overall process incurs higher price than the conventional solutions. However, the storage capacity provided by the 3D NAND flash memory chips are over three times the 2D NAND flash memory chips, which makes it preferable over other storage solutions.

Rise of internet of things (IoT)

Rise in incorporation of “Internet of Things (IoT)” into various applications have significantly influenced the dynamics of technology. The IoT devices primarily comprise sensors, internet, and a compatible power source to run the device. As the network of inter-connected devices is expected to increase, it is anticipated to generate more data and result in the proliferation of the need for an efficient storage. Thus, IoT could have an indirect, but significant impact on the market growth.
