An increase in cloud adoption is expected to drive the growth of the in-memory computing market. In computing, the term “cloud” refers to a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data instead of relying on local computers or servers. As organizations shift their operations to the cloud, in-memory computing becomes essential for improving the speed and efficiency of data processing. By storing and accessing data directly in system memory, in-memory computing supports real-time analytics and eliminates delays associated with traditional disk-based storage, enabling faster decision-making and enhanced system performance. For instance, in January 2025, AAG IT, a UK-based IT services company, reported that approximately 63% of SMB workloads and 62% of SMB data were projected to be hosted in public clouds by 2023, up from 57% and 56%, respectively, in 2022. Therefore, the growing adoption of cloud technologies is fueling the expansion of the in-memory computing market.

Key players in the in-memory computing sector are rolling out pioneering products like the 64-core mixed-signal in-memory computing chip to fortify their market position. This chip, leveraging phase-change memory devices, exhibits enhanced support for deep neural network computations. For instance, in August 2023, the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) launched its 64-core mixed-signal in-memory computing chip. This innovation is squarely aimed at maintaining the accuracy of deep learning algorithms while significantly reducing computation durations and energy usage. Comprising phase-change memory (PCM)-based cores integrated with digital computing processors, the chip's interconnectedness through an on-chip digital communication network enhances its functionality. With 64 analog PCM-based cores, each housing a 256-by-256 crossbar array of synaptic unit cells, this chip signifies a substantial stride toward an end-to-end analog AI inference accelerator chip.

In January 2025, BTQ Technologies Corp., a Canada-based provider of quantum and post-quantum security solutions, acquired computing-in-memory (CIM) intellectual property from Cimtech Technology Co. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aimed to strengthen BTQ’s hardware acceleration capabilities - particularly for number theoretic transform (NTT), homomorphic encryption, and post-quantum cryptography - by incorporating memory-centric computing IP. Cimtech Technology Co. Ltd. is a Taiwan-based company specializing in computing-in-memory (CIM) silicon intellectual property and memory-technology solutions.
