China Flash Memory Industry Overview
The China Flash Memory market is consolidated, with a few vendors controlling a sizable portion. The key players are Giga Device, YMTC, Macronix, and others. These players use product launches, collaboration, and partnerships, among other strategic initiatives, to gain a competitive advantage in the regional market.
In March 2023, GigaDevice introduced the GD25UF series of SPI NOR Flash in its strategic roadmap of 1.2V Flash products supporting systems-on-chip (SoCs) and applications processors built on advanced function nodes. The GD25UF SPI NOR Flash products are optimized for applications that require ultra-low power consumption or a small board footprint.
In July 2022, Micron Technology, Inc. announced the start of volume production of the world's first 232-layer NAND, which is built with industry-leading innovations to deliver unprecedented storage performance. Micron's 232-layer NAND is a watershed moment in storage innovation because it is the first proof that 3D NAND can be scaled to more than 200 layers in production.
In September 2022, Wuhan XinxinSemiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd (therein XMC), one of the leading NOR suppliers, launched XNOR-XM25LU128C, an ultra-small size and low-power SPI NOR Flash product that applies widely to increasingly smaller IoT and wearable devices.
