Memory Chip

Seoul: Leading industry tracker World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) on Wednesday cut in half its growth projection of the global memory chip market next year. WSTS, a non-profit organisation of chipmakers, forecast the memory market to expand 8.5 per cent year-on-year to $171.6 billion next year, down from a growth rate of 18.4 percent with $190.7 billion it forecast in its August report. While the agency did not elaborate, falling DRAM prices and an expected slowdown in memory demand are believed to have contributed to the revision.

It had previously said the market would grow by 10.1 percent. Among the chip types, sensors are expected to grow by 11.3 percent, followed by logic chips at 11.1 percent, analog chips at 8.8 percent and memory chips at 8.5 percent, reports Yonhap news agency. For this year, the semiconductor market was not "negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic," WSTS said, adding robust consumer demand pushed most of the major product categories to double-digit growth rates. Founded in 1986, WSTS releases monthly industry shipment statistics and has more than 40 member companies, including Samsung Electronics and SK hynix.
