Increasing Adoption of Consumer Electronics to Drive Global Serial SLC NAND Flash Memory Market Growth

The widespread consumer electronics globally has been the main sustainer of the Serial SLC NAND flash memory market growth in the past few years. As per the International Trade Administration (ITA), Southeast Asia Region eCommerce Forecast 2020–2027, consumer electronics continue to be the biggest contributor to the e-commerce revenue growth in the region. India, as of January 2023, had more than 700 million smartphone users, out of which 425 million were from rural areas, making up over half of the population. The count of active internet users in rural India has gone up by 45% since 2019, which has made the country the pivot of the worldwide smart device revolution. The ITA also forecasts that the healthcare IT market, which includes wearable devices such as smartwatches, will be worth US$16 billion by 2025.

Elevated disposable incomes, quick urbanization, and non-stop technological breakthroughs are some of the reasons behind the strong demand for top-end smart devices. India, China, and Japan have reported a steady rise in consumer disposable income in the year 2023 as compared to the year 2022 (Trading Economics). The premiumization trend all over Asia propelled the sales of smartphones, appliances, and televisions to a great extent (IBEF, 2024).

With consumer electronics turning to be a necessity in the daily life of people, the demand for fast, reliable, and durable data storage is on the rise. Smartphones, tablets, and wearables are the memory users that can handle the most intensive data loads, and at the same time ensure data integrity. Serial SLC NAND flash memory, which is a technology known for its highest speed, endurance, and low latency, is the best option that can satisfy these needs.
