Global Memory Interface Chip Market Research Report 2024-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2030

Memory interface chip is an indispensable core device of the memory module, which is mainly divided into Register Clock Driver (RCD) and Data Buffer (DB). With the growing demand for server CPUs for high performance and large capacity of memory modules, the access speed and stability of memory data need to be guaranteed, therefore, the memory interface chip is the necessary path for server CPUs to access memory data. At this stage, DDR4/5 memory interface chips can be divided into two main categories according to their functions: (1) Register Clock Driver (RCD) used to buffer address, command, and control signals from memory controllers; and (2) Data Buffer (DB) used to buffer data signals from memory controllers or memory particles.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Memory Interface Chip market finds that the global Memory Interface Chip market reached a value of USD 1044.89 million in 2023. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 3578.35 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 22.77% during the forecast period.

DDR5 significantly outperforms DDR4, popularization is expected to drive a new round of growth

Driven by a confluence of megatrends, global data traffic is increasing at an exponential rate. For example, 5G networks are enabling billions of AI-powered IoT devices untethered from wired networks. Nowhere is the impact of all this growth being felt more intensely than in data centers. Indeed, hyperscale data centers have become the critical hubs of the global data network. DDR5 DRAM will enable the next generation of server systems providing the massive computing power of hyperscale and enterprise data centers.

Growth Drivers

Downstream driver - cloud computing
With the vigorous development of information technologies such as 5G, AI, and big data, the huge amount of traffic requires the support of more servers. The growing use of cloud computing has raised the requirement for significant storage capacity, boosting demand for memory interface chips and extending their market. Memory interface chips are primarily found in devices that use artificial intelligence, the internet of things, machine learning, and edge computing; this aspect also drives the market. The increased usage of memory interface chips for dual in-line memory modules and microprocessors further boosts the market.

Market Challenges and Restraints

Suffering from a unique combination of circumstances
The memory industry is suffering from a unique combination of circumstances — COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, historic inflation, and supply-chain disruptions — that have made this decline much worse than a regular cyclical downturn. For instance, in December 2022, U.S. memory chipmaker Micron responded aggressively to plummeting demand. Micron said that it would cut its budget for new plants and equipment in addition to reducing output. In addition, SK Hynix has also slashed investments and scaled back output. Its inventory glut is partly the result of its acquisition of Intel’s flash memory business — a deal struck before the industry’s decline. This also affects the memory interface chip industry.
