Summary
The DRAM market is very dynamic yet volatile. Since its commercial introduction in 1971, more than 80 global companies have participated in the DRAM market, and over time, many have exited this particular segment of the IC industry due to fierce competition among the stakeholders, a lack of technology know-how or technology migration challenges.
Technology migration and the successful scaling up of new technologies are likely to be the keys to profit growth for DRAM industry stakeholders, rather than production capacity expansion during the study period of this report. Product design and processing require high levels of technical expertise and a significant investment at the product and process development stage.
Compared to 10 years ago, only three major DRAM companies-Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron survived to enjoy the higher profits after market consolidation. Samsung dominates the DRAM market in terms of revenue generation, but all the major suppliers are relatively balanced in terms of impacting DRAM prices.
With the growth of transactional data, cloud computing and data analytics, next-generation workloads will require higher-performance storage. This will drive the growth and technology innovation in the entire memory device industry. The industry has seen significant diversification of demand in the last few years, and a higher portion of DRAM demand now comes from various applications, including mobile handsets and automotive, industrial and networking applications. Requirements for more complicated features, including dual cameras, artificial intelligence applications for smartphones and robust demand for data center servers, are the key driving factors for DRAM industry growth in next five years. DRAM demand is also booming for the emergence of a wide range of consumer and automobile products and technologies, including 4K televisions, autonomous cars and voice-activated devices. The DRAM product lifecycle is very short, typically two to three years. As the DRAM industry matures and competition for the next generation of electronic devices becomes tougher, the product lifecycle is getting shorter due to the speed of technology innovation. In this sense, DRAM providers need a specified and speedy strategy from technology innovation to product design and sales.
DRAM suppliers are mostly investing in technology transition and process optimization, as opposed to the expansion of production capacity. This is likely to keep the 2018 prices similar to those of the second half of 2017. In 2018, DRAM manufacturers will mainly focus on continuing their flexibility in product mix strategy and strengthening cost competitiveness through the expansion of 1X-nanometer process migration.
The PC DRAM market is already saturated and shrinking, but DRAM and DRAM module manufacturers are trying to gain cost advantages by raising the share of gaming products in their product mixes and keeping their own DRAM inventories at optimal levels. This is likely to create a shortage of PC DRAM modules by the end of 2019, resulting in a significant increase in PC DRAM ASP.
