According to the data, in Q1 of 2021, Samsung Memory will lead the smartphone memory chip market with 49% (DRAM and NAND). SK Hynix and Micron follow closely. Samsung Memory, SK Hynix and Micron are in the global smartphone memory chip market. The market occupies more than 80% of the revenue share.

NAND market

In Q1 of 2021, the smartphone NAND flash memory chip market revenue increased by 18% year-on-year, which was driven by the adoption of UFS NAND flash memory chips, especially in mid-to-high-end devices. In the smartphone NAND market, Samsung Memory ranked first with 42% revenue share, SK Hynix followed closely with 20% share, and Kioxia ranked third with 19% share.

DRAM market

Due to the increase in new 5G devices released by smartphone customers, the revenue of smartphone DRAM memory chips increased 21% year-on-year in the quarter. Samsung Memory leads the smartphone DRAM market with 54% revenue share, followed by SK Hynix (25%) and Micron (20%).

Jeffrey Mathews, a senior analyst at Strategy Analytics, said: "The recovery of the smartphone terminal market has driven early customer orders from memory chip suppliers who provide high-density memory chips for some key smartphone models. Samsung Memory, SK Hynix Both Micron and Micron have benefited from the shipment of storage solutions based on high-capacity multi-chip packages (MCP). We have noticed that driven by 128GB NAND and 6GB DRAM configurations, UFS multi-chip packages (uMCP) have reached nearly 30%."

Stephen Entwistle, Vice President of Strategic Technology Practice at Strategy Analytics, said: "The strong demand for 5G smartphones has created favorable conditions for the growth of the smartphone memory chip market. Memory chip manufacturers are expected to launch high-capacity UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 multi-chip package storage solutions. , To meet 5G demand. However, the continued shortage of non-storage components may affect the prospects of the memory chip market."
