Good Times
Fleeting for SRAM Market
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., October 9, 2001
- While it is not forecast to see the wild aberrations of the past
two years, the SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) market will continue
the slow decline that started in the mid-nineties, according to
Cahners In-Stat Group (http://www.instat.com).
The market research firm projects that, as a consequence of current
economic conditions and the general trend of the market, worldwide
SRAM dollar shipments will fall from $6,512 million last year to
$4,006 million by 2005.
“The biggest factor contributing to
the decline is an ongoing migration from SRAM to embedded SRAM in
high complexity, customer-specific, or ASIC applications as well
as application-specific standard product (ASSP) designs,” says Jerry
Worchel, a Senior Analyst at In-Stat. “Add the sagging economy that
has been affecting all memory products to that trend, and the market
is unlikely to stabilize for another 8 to 12 months.”
In-Stat has also found that:
- Static RAM market worldwide dollar
shipments will be dominated by the asynchronous SRAM segment,
averaging a 50%+ market share between 2000 and 2005. Asynchronous
SRAM unit shipments will likewise dominate, accounting for an
average 65% market share over the forecast period.
- End-use market consumption, once
dominated by electronic data processing applications, is now controlled
by the communications market, with an average dollar market share
of 80% throughout the forecast period.
- Geographic consumption of SRAM products
will remain under the control of The Americas, with Japan and
Europe at a somewhat distant second and third. Market share for
The Americas will average about 40%+ over the forecast period..
