SK Hynix Inc. is a South Korean supplier of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips and flashes memory chips. The world’s second-largest memory chipmaker (after Samsung Electronics) and the world’s third-largest semiconductor company, Hynix is an opponent of Samsung Electronics. The competition between Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix for first place in the server DRAM market worth 40 trillion won a year is fierce….!
Samsung Electronics maintains the No. 1 position with a share of over 43% compared to SK Hynix (about 27%), which is second while inspecting the overall DRAM market alone. However, the server DRAM market, which is growing rapidly, is different.
The contestant companies in the field of competition have been fierce for the server DRAM market. In the first quarter of 2018 alone, Samsung Electronics had a 50.8% market share, which was close to a 20%p gap compared to SK Hynix (31.6%). However, the gap gradually narrowed after that, and in the second quarter of 2019, SK Hynix succeeded in turning around (SK Hynix: 42.5%, Samsung Electronics: 36.9%).
Since 2019, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have alternately occupied first place, continuing their lead competition. On an annual basis in 2019, Samsung Electronics (41.3%) surpassed SK Hynix (38.9%) by a narrow margin.
Although, for 2020 first time in 2020 that SK Hynix ranked first in server DRAM on an annual basis. SK Hynix beats Samsung Electronics and took first place with a 38.8% market share, while Samsung Electronics was back with 35.4%. Last year, accounted for 32% of the total DRAM market, far ahead of mobile (22%) and PC (15%).
DRAM market to grow from 43 trillion won this year to 92 trillion won in 2026
The several aspects of the companies and several desires of the media, one of the South Korean sources omdia, encounters. the server DRAM market is expected to grow to $66.24 billion (about 92 trillion won) in 2026. It is more than twice the size of the market estimated to be $30.877 billion (about 43 trillion won) as of this year. The expected annual growth rate is about 16%.
The whole force depending on who leads the server DRAM market, the entire DRAM market can change. Might in the future technologies like Metaverse, AI(artificial intelligence), and autonomous driving are keeping the center point of arresting eyes due to COVID-19.
A data center refers to a facility that collects, operates, and manages equipment required to provide IT (information and communication) services in one building. The investment in data centers, the core infrastructure that implements these technologies, is following one after another.
Here you can check the analysis of the competition growth that I took for you from the Korean source, omdia.
