The Memory Integrated Circuits market has been the most cyclical of all the markets and has a significant influence on the total semiconductor market. It is comparatively more affected by the four-year periodic economic swings of the market driven by fluctuations in supply and demand, also known as the silicon cycle.
The market is also more prone to pricing issues and is currently dominated by three major players, Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, who together contribute a major revenue share in this market. The market is expected to grow in the coming years, mainly driven by increasing demand for various cloud, consumer electronics, IoT, autonomous vehicles, and data center applications. The market is expected to see a dip in growth by more than 10 % in 2022 compared to the previous year and continue to be cyclical in growth for the following years.
