Every digital computing system requires non-volatile memory to retain the primary or necessary programs and data, permanently, in order to avoid data loss on occasions of power failure or system shutdown. This has led to the invention of non-volatile memories. NOR flash is a type of nonvolatile semiconductor memory widely used in electronic devices. The NOR flash memory was first introduced by Intel in 1988. In NOR flash memory, the individual memory cells are connected in parallel configuration, which enables fast random access to the content stored on the memory cells. NOR flash memory has been utilized for a long period of time for code storage and direct program execution in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). However, the advent of smartphones and usage of NAND flash has impacted the application of NOR flash memories.
Market Dynamics: Global NOR Flash Market
The NOR Flash market is primarily driven by the increased deliveries of embedded NOR flash in applications such as automotive, wireless, medical, and industrial applications. Incorporation of advanced features in automobiles such as advance driver assistance systems (ADAS) , automatic cruse controller, and internet of things (IoT) compatibilities is featuring addition of on board processors and controllers (microcontrollers or CPUs).
In conjunction with the same, NOR flash memories which are used in these controllers for code storage, and similar functions are also witnessing an increase in demand in the market. As a result of these factors, expansion of the automotive electronics market is anticipated to boost the NOR flash market during the forecast period. However, increasing adoption of NAND flash and development of high-tech NAND flash such as 3D NAND flash are expected to restrain the NOR flash memories market in the near future.
