As of February 2023, reported by Uswitch Limited, the UK experienced a 3.8% increase in mobile connections in 2022, totaling 71.8 million connections. The data further projects that approximately 95% of the UK population, or around 65 million individuals, will own a smartphone by 2025. Consequently, the heightened use of smartphones acts as a driving force for the growth of the DRAM module and component market.

The advent of 5G technology is anticipated to further support the DRAM module and component market in the forecast period. The deployment of 5G cellular networks has expanded data pathways, facilitating faster and more efficient data movement, thereby reducing traffic congestion. The surge in demand for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and mobile devices has led to an increased need for memory, consequently contributing to the expansion of the DRAM market. As of 2021, Ericsson's Mobility Report revealed a threefold increase in global 5G smartphone subscriptions, reaching 600 million. Furthermore, 5G Americas reported a significant rise in global 5G connections, reaching 429 million in the second quarter of 2021. In summary, the growing adoption of 5G technology is expected to serve as a driver for the DRAM module and component market.


Technological advancement stands out as a prominent trend gaining traction in the DRAM module and component market. Leading companies within this market segment are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies to fortify their positions. An illustrative example is NEO Semiconductor, a US-based firm specializing in the design and development of architectures for 3D NAND flash and other memory systems. In 2023, NEO Semiconductor introduced its groundbreaking 3D X-DRAM technology, marking a significant milestone in the memory industry. This revolutionary technology presents various advantages, including the world's first 3D NAND-such as DRAM cell array structure, a 128 Gb density with 230 layers (eight times higher than current DRAM density), simplified manufacturing and scaling processes, reduced risk and cost compared to alternative 3D DRAM approaches, high yields, and a self-aligned, 3D NAND-such as process. The 3D X-DRAM technology aims to address DRAM's capacity bottleneck, potentially replacing the entire 2D DRAM market. This solution streamlines process steps while delivering a high-speed, high-density, low-cost, and high-yield outcome.

Companies engaged in the DRAM module and component market are actively embracing cutting-edge technologies, such as LPDDR5 DRAM chips, to maintain their market positions. LPDDR5 DRAM chips represent a type of random-access memory (RAM) that offers enhanced performance and lower power consumption compared to preceding generations of DDR memory. For instance, in November 2023, ChangXin Memory Technology (CXMT), a China-based semiconductor integrated device manufacturer, unveiled LPDDR5 DRAM chips, including 12GB LPDDR5 dies, 6GB DSC packaging LPDDR5 mobile DRAM, and 12GB POP packaging LPDDR5 mobile DRAM. These LPDDR5 DRAM chips are tailored for affordable smartphones and other low-power devices, providing CXMT with a diversified product portfolio and expanding its footprint in the burgeoning mobile market. The launch of CXMT's LPDDR5 DRAM chips represents a significant breakthrough for the company, which had previously focused on producing LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X for System-on-Chip (SoC) applications.

In January 2023, Novosense Microelectronics, a China-based company specializing in highly robust and reliable analog and mixed-signal IC design, acquired KT Micro for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is expected to bolster Novosense's capabilities in wireless connectivity, signal chains, and audio, strengthening its overall position in the semiconductor market. KT Micro, the acquired entity, is a China-based Analog & Mixed Signal fabless design company and a manufacturer of DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory).
