DRAM market on track to surpass $100 billion mark this year

Market researchers from IC Insights point out that DRAM revenue is expected to surpass the $100 billion mark this year. DRAM prices are elevated due to a supply shortage, resulting in over 30 percent revenue growth versus 2017. This is on top of a massive 78 percent growth in 2017.

Based on the current trajectory, DRAM is expected to be the first category of semiconductor to hit the $100 billion milestone. IBS predicts somewhat smaller growth, and expects DRAM will break through the $100 billion mark in 2019:

Market research firms IC Insights and International Business Strategies (IBS) have both in recent days issued forecasts that DRAM would eclipse $100 billion. However, while IC Insights predicts that it will happen this year, IBS forecasts it will occur in 2019. The DRAM market surged by 78% in 2017.
