The rate at which the market for NAND flash memories will grow in 2006 is going to be less than half the rate achieved in 2005, according to market forecast company iSuppli Corp.
iSuppli (El Segundo, Calif.) said the NAND market would grow by 29 percent from its 2005 level to reach a size of $13.8 billion, or about 5.4 percent of a total worldwide semiconductor market worth $254.7 billion in 2006 having grown by 7.4 percent. Although that may be very strong growth it contrasts with the 62 percent annual growth the NAND market achieved in 2005.
The DRAM market is expected to bounce back in 2006. Annual growth of 6.2 percent is set to take the market size up to 26.4 billion. Although the growth rate is paltry compared with that of NAND flash the DRAM market will remain twice the size of the NAND flash market if iSuppli’s predictions come true.
