The Nonvolatile Memory and Storage Portfolio

The Nonvolatile Memory and Storage Portfolio tracks the technology, engineering and commercial developments in the nonvolatile memory and storage industries. Five services comprised of a series of studies analyze the best satisfy actual and future requirements for nonvolatile memory and storage components, cards modules and micro-Hard Disk Drives.:

1. Manufacturing / Technologies
2. Storage Devices
3. Memory Components
4. Embedded NV Memories
5. Mobility Storage

The steadily growing size and complexity of the industry and markets, requires that qualitative and quantitative aspects of the development trends be put into a broader perspective. Therefore, the services also analyze the 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, the emphasis is on portable and mobile 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 the analyzed markets. The other level forecasts the qualitative and quantitative development of the markets for the next five years, by using the collected data and by factoring in the 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. The estimates have been done 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 the developments that drive the semiconductor and storage industries today and in the years to come.
