Emerging Non Volatile Memory Market Global Report 2026

The emerging non volatile memory market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.96 billion in 2025 to $7.04 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for persistent data storage, rising adoption of high-speed memory technologies, growing need for lower power consumption, increasing demand for enhanced memory endurance, and expanding use of reliable data retention solutions.

The emerging non volatile memory market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.85 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for memory solutions offering higher storage density, rising need for faster data retrieval, growing adoption of advanced non-volatile memory architectures, increasing demand for energy-efficient memory solutions, and expanding requirements for high-endurance memory in critical applications. Major trends during the forecast period include increasing demand for faster data access, rising need for low-power memory solutions, growing demand for enhanced memory endurance, increasing adoption of high-density non-volatile memory, and expanding demand for reliable data retention.

The increasing deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is expected to propel the growth of the emerging non-volatile memory market going forward. IoT device deployment refers to the widespread installation and integration of connected devices that collect, process, and exchange data through networks. IoT device deployment is increasing due to the growing adoption of smart homes, industrial automation, and connected technologies that require real-time data processing and connectivity. Emerging non-volatile memory supports IoT devices by providing high-speed data access, low power consumption, fast read and write performance, high endurance, and reliable data retention, enabling efficient real-time data processing, edge computing, and extended battery life in connected devices. For instance, in July 2025, the European Commission, a Belgium-based governing body, reported that the number of IoT-connected devices reached approximately 40 billion in 2023 and is projected to increase to 49 billion by 2026, representing an annual growth rate of 7%. Therefore, the increasing deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is driving the growth of the emerging non-volatile memory market.

Major companies operating in the emerging non-volatile memory market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as unified magneto resistive random access memory architectures, to improve memory performance, endurance, and reliability in embedded systems. Unified MRAM architectures are advanced non-volatile memory solutions that combine code and data storage within a single persistent memory platform, offering higher speed, greater endurance, and lower power consumption than conventional NOR flash memory while simplifying system architecture and maintaining data retention. For instance, in March 2026, Everspin Technologies Inc., a US-based developer and manufacturer of magnetoresistive random access memory solutions, launched the UNISYST MRAM family, a new generation of unified memory designed for embedded systems. The product expands the company's MRAM roadmap with capacities ranging from 128 megabits to 2 gigabits and supports a standard xSPI interface operating at up to octal SPI at 200 MHz. It is designed to deliver high endurance, at least 10-year data retention under extreme temperatures, and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, making it suitable for automotive, aerospace, industrial, and edge computing applications.

In October 2023, Allegro MicroSystems Inc., a US-based semiconductor company, acquired Crocus Technology for $420 million. Through this acquisition, Allegro MicroSystems aimed to accelerate its tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) technology roadmap, strengthen its magnetic sensing portfolio, and expand its capabilities in high-growth applications such as e-mobility, clean energy, industrial automation, and automotive markets. Crocus Technology International Corp is a US-based developer of emerging non-volatile memory solutions that specializes in MRAM technology based on its proprietary thermally assisted switching (TAS) approach.
