TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global Flash Memory Cards market to grow at a CAGR of -5.6 percent over the period 2011–2015. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing demand for storage devices in smartphones. The Global Flash Memory Cards market has also been witnessing the introduction of high-density memory cards. However, portable devices with voluminous in-built memory could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
TechNavio's report, the Global Flash Memory Cards Market 2011–2015, has been prepared based on an in-depth analysis of the market with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions; it also covers the Global Flash Memory Cards market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market. The scope of this report includes the market for all types of Flash Memory Card across end-user segments. A multitude of form factors exist, primarily because of the fragmentation of the consumer electronics market, with OEMs endorsing a variety of interface standards. The various form factors and interface standards covered in this report as follows:
• Secure Digital: Contains up to four flash chips and an onboard controller. It is the leading form factor in the digital camera market. MiniSD and SDmicro are the new smaller versions.
• Memory Stick: Promoted by Sony, Memory Stick contains flash and an onboard controller and has excellent security and copyright protection features. Memory Stick Duo is a smaller version, while Memory Stick Micro (also called M2) is the newest and smallest.
• MultiMediaCard: Contains flash and an onboard controller and can be used in devices that support SD. Strong OEM support and lack of royalties have driven adoption. RS-MMC and MMCmicro are reduced size versions.
• CompactFlash: Contains flash memory and an on-board controller IC, which does not allow the host system to directly access the flash memory. CompactFlash has been largely displaced by other form factors.
• Picture Card: Promoted by Fuji and Olympus, this small form factor is targeted at digital cameras.
• SmartMedia: SmartMedia cards contain NAND flash memory without a controller IC, making it a lower-cost option compared with CompactFlash. SmartMedia has seen limited adoption due to capacity limitations.
The markets that are not covered in this report are as follows:
• Flash memory semiconductor, solid-state drive and hard disk drive (HDD), and embedded solutions providers
