Based on memory wafer size, the market is segmented into 200 mm and 300 mm. The 300 mm segment held the largest market share of over 55% in 2023. Benefits of moving to larger wafers such as 300mm include an increase in efficiency during production, better yield rates, and lower prices for manufacturing per unit.
 

Additionally, newer generation memories like Resistive RAM (ReRAM), Phase-Change Memory (PCM), and Magnetic RAM (MRAM) will benefit from the economies of scale via 300mm wafer fabrication because it allows for higher volumes at affordable costs. Again, through using 300mm domain makes semiconductor manufacturers take up more advanced process nodes and get higher chip densities which enhance the performance and raise storage capacities in future memory devices.
 

Based on technology, the next-generation memory market is segmented into nonvolatile memories and volatile memories. Nonvolatile memories is further sub segmented into SRAM, magneto resistive random-access memory, Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM), nano RAM, and others. Volatile memories are further sub segmented into Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The nonvolatile memories segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 26% from 2024 to 2032.

Non-volatile memory solutions have a capacity of retaining data even when the power is switched off, so they are essential in storing data for endeavors such as vehicle electronics, enterprise storage, and internet of things. Advances in non-volatile memory technologies like Resistive RAM (ReRAM), Phase-Change Memory (PCM) and Magnetic RAM (MRAM) have increased speed and energy efficiency as well as endurance over conventional non-volatile memories like NAND flash and Hard Disk Drives (HDD). These advances are in line with growing needs for faster data storage, retrieval and processing in data-intensive applications propelled by trends including Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things.
 

North America accounted for a significant share in the next-generation memory market in 2023 with a market share of over 36.5%. The region is characterized by a strong ecosystem of semiconductor firms, research institutes and technology companies that spur innovation and advancement in advanced memory technologies. Additionally, there is an increasing demand for faster and more power efficient memory solutions due to the growing need for edge computing applications, data centers and high-performance computing.
 

Moreover, North America has several key players in the semiconductor industry such as Intel, Micron Technology and IBM who are investing heavily on next generation memory such as MRAM (Magneto resistive Random Access Memory), PCM (Phase-Change Memory) and ReRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory). These businesses work together with entrepreneurial startups alongside scholarly institutions with a goal of fast-tracking commercialization as well as adoption of these inventions.
