The Nonvolatile Memory and Storage Portfolio tracks technology, engineering, and commercial developments in nonvolatile memory and storage industries. Three services comprised of a series of studies analyze:
- Manufacturing / Technologies,
- Storage Systems, and
- Memory Components that best satisfy actual and future requirements for nonvolatile memory and storage components, cards, modules, SSDs and small form factor-Hard Disk Drives.
Steadily growing size and complexity of the industry and markets requires that qualitative and quantitative aspects of development trends be put into a broader perspective. Therefore, the services also analyze major social, political, economic, and technology changes underway; and the impact these changes will have on the economy and analyzed industries. Target applications are in all market segments: stationary, portable, and mobile; however, emphasis is on convergence in all the applications.
The studies are organized on two logic levels, which are not physically separated. One level describes the development trends of relevant technologies, standards and systems. It also takes into consideration how macroeconomic factors impact these trends. The resulting information is used to create models and assumptions for each analyzed market. The second level forecasts qualitative and quantitative development of each market for the next five years; using collected data and by factoring in our created models and assumptions.
Whenever information and data were not provided or were not possible to obtain due to confidentiality concerns, an estimate of the total market has been developed. These estimates are created by developing the identity and the character of the applications, market segments and markets. Additionally, use is made of a surrogate development model applicable to known similar market segments, in correlation with specific market drivers, accelerators and inhibitors.
The Nonvolatile Memory and Storage Portfolio provides comprehensive in depth analyses of developments that drive the semiconductor and storage industries today and in the years to come.
