ReRAM Market Share

ReRAM Market Size and Overview 

The Global ReRAM Market is expected to grow from USD 310.6 million in 2018 to USD 655 Million by 2027, at a CAGR of 16% during the forecast period. Since the past few years, emerging non-volatile memory technologies such as resistive random-access memory (ReRAM) have been getting significant attention owing to their lower read latency and faster write performance. With the advent of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), and IoT devices, a significant amount of data generated is dense and complex. In order to process this data efficiently, innovative memory technologies are needed. Semiconductor companies are adopting ReRAM to deal with the requirements of artificial intelligence and HPC as it can significantly reduce the energy consumption of modern systems while enhancing their performance. Thus, the need for high bandwidth, low power consumption, and highly scalable memory device for technologies such as AI, IoT, and big data is boosting the growth of the ReRAM market.

Also, as ReRAM draws much less power than NAND flash, it is best suited for memory in sensor devices for industrial, and automotive applications. ReRAM is often cited as the logical replacement in applications such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and nonvolatile dual in-line memory modules (NVDIMMs) owing to its higher memory density, faster read and write speeds, and lower power requirement. Furthermore, the growing demand for emerging nonvolatile memory in connected devices is expected to fuel the growth of this market during the forecast period. However, as these memories rely on complicated switching mechanisms and exotic materials, it takes longer to develop. Also, the availability of alternatives like DRAM and flash is making it difficult for ReRAM to get a foothold in the market.

ReRAM is a type of non-volatile memory that comprises a memristor— whose resistance varies depending on the applied voltage. ReRAM has great potential for high storage density, lower power usage, greater read and write speeds, and affordable cost than flash memory because of the thinness of memristors. The two main types of ReRAMs available in the market are oxide-based ReRAM and conductive bridging RAM. At the moment, owing to its tremendous potential, ReRAM is on the verge of becoming a part of the digital mainstream.

In September 2019, Hewlett-Packard Company collaborated with Hynix Semiconductor Inc. to develop new materials and process integration technology to transfer the memristor technology from research to commercial development in the form of resistive random-access memory (ReRAM)In January 2019, the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) partnered with Israel-based Weebit Nano to work on a research project that will apply Weebit’s SiOx ReRAM technology to computer chips used for AI

ReRAM Industry Developments

August 2023: Australia-based 4DS Memory stated in August 2023 that it tested their latest memory system product, the Fourth Platform Lot wafer, and performed “far better than expected.” The company added that its continued relationship with imec, a world-leading R&D and innovation hub for nanoelectronics and digital technologies, has been very helpful in making significant improvements to the 4Ds Platform Lot technology.

In 2022, Intrinsic Semiconductor Technologies demonstrated promising electrical performances of its silicon oxide-based resistive RAM, scaled effectively down to 50 nm. This could lead them to be used as low-cost, high-performance, non-volatile memory integrated with logic devices for advanced processing nodes due to excellent switching behavior, which is important for next-gen solid-state memories.

Fujitsu Semiconductor Memory Solution Limited presented an 8Mbit FRAM MB85RQ8MLX with Quad SPI interface in its SPI-connected FRAM product line with the highest density, thus improving data storage capacities in various applications requiring fast and reliable non-volatile memory access.

In order to improve the efficiency and performance of next-generation storage and computational solutions through innovative ReRAM technology, Xinyuan Semiconductor raised millions of yuan in funding through A round funds to develop breakthrough ReRAM-based storage and computing integrated devices.

CrossBar Inc., a prominent developer of non-volatile storage technology, introduced new capabilities for its Resistive RAM innovation on October 20th last year, focusing on applications that require few-time programmed as well as one-time-programmable non-volatile memories (NVM). By combining ReRAM with advanced acceleration hardware plus optimized neural networks, CrossBar aims to deliver unsupervised learning capability and power-efficient solutions.
