SMART TV’s anchor the world of home entertainment devices. Apple is reportedly re-evaluating whether to make an Apple-branded again in this hot market.

Market Update - Are You Aligned for 2024

The past year has been challenging for memory suppliers. Independent analysts report that customer inventory levels have been depleting while demand has been increasing. Supplier production levels and capacity investments have been cut back.

Additionally, a new post-COVID supply/demand balance has been reached with price stabilization after price declines not seen in 15 years.

The Changing Market

Industry pundits forecast that suppliers will be slow to increase capacity as they need time to recover. DDR4 supply is expected to tighten as mainstream demand shifts to DDR5. And eMMC growth is expected to continue. Price increases are projected to resume and accelerate as we enter a period of undersupply by 2024.

Now is the time to ensure your supply is stable for the period ahead. Qualify SMARTsemi DRAM, eMMC, and Flash Cards today.

The Mighty Mini eMMC

An eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) is a compact, integrated storage solution widely used in various electronic devices and a popular offering in SMARTsemi’s embedded Flash memory component catalog.

eMMCs combine three essential elements in a single package:

  • NAND flash memory
  • A flash memory controller
  • A standardized MMC interface

This integration simplifies the design process for device manufacturers and improves overall system reliability.

eMMC Forecast

According to the September 2024 report from eMMC market research firm, Market Research Intellect, the global eMMC market this year is forecast to reach $14B and continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.6% reaching $30B by 2031.

This doubling of demand is being driven by the proliferation in mobile consumer devices (smartphones, IoT devices) as well as traditional embedded applications including automotive, home electronics, industrial, and medical equipment.

Aligning with a supply chain partner like SMARTsemi can help ensure an uninterrupted supply for embedded applications.
