Memory represents a promising opportunity for suppliers, as increased demand is coming from the large computing market, from the surging communications and consumer markets as well, and as new memory technologies are developed to meet greater application requirements.  The memory market is valued at an estimated $64.3 billion for 2007, which constitutes about 23 percent of the total semiconductor industry.  This particular market has been considered one of the bellwethers of semiconductor health, along with the PC microprocessor market, and to a lesser extent the cell phone processor market.  Databeans anticipates a growth of 10 percent this year for total memory revenue and estimates a compound annual growth rate of 12 percent over the forecast period. Databeans new study called “2007 Memory” covers DRAM, SRAM, Flash, and Other memory.  Forecasts are provided by product, region, and market segment.  Market share for each product category is also presented.
