The global non-volatile memory market size was valued at USD 78.10 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 184.85 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.54% during 2025-2033. Asia-Pacific currently dominates the market, holding a significant market share of over 51.5% in 2024. The rising usage of flash memory in laptops, global positioning systems (GPS), gaming gadgets, and electronic musical instruments due to its decreased cost and power usage is stimulating the market.
Non-volatile memory (NVM), also known as no-volatile storage, refers to a type of computer memory that can retain saved data even when the power is turned off. It does not require its data to be periodically refreshed and consequently finds extensive applications in retail, information technology (IT), telecommunications, automotive, and healthcare industries across the globe. Some of the commonly used NVM are read only memory (ROM), flash memory, hard disks, floppy disk drives, magnetic tapes, optical disc drives, and other computer storage methods, such as paper tapes and punch cards.
Non-Volatile Memory Market Trends:
There is a rise in the reliance on smartphones for communication and other purposes, which use advanced processors and NVM to enable fast data transfer. This, in confluence with the burgeoning electronics industry, represents one of the key factors impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, NVM is utilized in long-term or secondary data storage, such as memory chips for digital cameras and universal serial bus (USB) memory sticks. Besides this, there is an increase in the adoption of flash memory in laptops, global positioning systems (GPS), gaming devices, and electronic musical instruments on account of its lower price and power consumption. This, coupled with the rising usage of NVM in wearable devices, is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, the introduction of advanced storage technologies, such as 3D XPoint, magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM), and nano random-access memory (NRAM), is offering lucrative growth opportunities to market players. Furthermore, extensive research and development (R&D) activities undertaken by leading market players and rapid expansion of data centers around the world are anticipated to facilitate the growth of the industry.
