3D NAND flash memory technology has been increasingly utilized in various applications, due to increase in demand for data storage. It offers large storage space while operating faster at a rather reduced cost. This technology has considerably evolved as the existing technologies were not able to effectively scale capacity to meet the increase in demand for data storage. Key market players are trying to develop advanced memory chips for consumer electronics devices with a focus on more in-built storage to reduce the reliance on external memory cards. Micron Technology, for instance, developed a 3D NAND chip in August 2016 for smartphones, which stacks 48 layers of memory cells. The mass production of such chips is yet to start by the company, but this is an advancement in the 3D NAND flash memory market. Moreover, advancements in mobile technology coupled with upsurge in usage fueled the growth of the smartphone market, in terms of penetration. The global smartphone market is in its mature stage, due to decline in the overall shipment in the developed markets such as the U.S., China, Japan, Canada, and parts of Europe.
