Non-volatile memory (NVM) is essential for managing these escalating data volumes because it retains information even when powered off, making it suitable for storage and long-term data retention. For example, a report published by The Linux Foundation, a US-based non-profit consortium, revealed that data growth for the average end-user organization reached an impressive 2,208 TB in 2022, reflecting a 215.43% increase and tripling from 700 TB in 2021. Thus, the rising volume of data is expected to propel the non-volatile memory market.

The rising demand for electronic devices is projected to boost the growth of the non-volatile memory market in the future. Electronic devices encompass a broad array of gadgets that rely on electronic components for their operation. Non-volatile memory technologies, such as NAND flash, are extensively utilized in consumer electronics like smartphones, tablets, and wearables, offering fast, durable, and energy-efficient storage solutions for applications, media, and data retention. For example, in May 2023, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, a trade organization based in Japan, reported that the total production of electronic devices in Japan amounted to $6.72 billion (¥771,457 million). Additionally, the production of consumer electronics reached $280 million (¥32,099 million) in May 2023, compared to $230.9 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. Consequently, the increasing demand for electronic devices is expected to drive the growth of the non-volatile memory market.

Technological advancements are a significant trend gaining traction in the non-volatile memory market. Leading companies in this sector are creating new products or technologies to enhance their market position. For example, in June 2022, STMicroelectronics NV, a technology firm based in Switzerland, introduced the industry's first Serial Page EEPROM, a high-density, page-erasable SPI memory that operates with ultra-low power consumption. Beginning with the 32Mbit M95P32, this innovation offers a unique combination of firmware management and flexible data storage, which helps reduce costs while improving performance. This new memory architecture is ideal for applications such as industrial IoT, wearables, and smart meters, as it integrates ST’s patented 40nm NVM technology with a smart page architecture, facilitating faster read, erase, and program cycles. As a result, it provides better power efficiency, ease of use, and reliability compared to alternatives like FRAM and serial Flash.

Leading companies in the non-volatile memory market are concentrating on developing high-performance technologies with features such as radiation and electromagnetic interference tolerance to secure a competitive edge. This technology is engineered to resist radiation and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for critical applications in industries like aerospace and medicine. For example, in November 2022, Weebit Nano, a semiconductor IP company based in Israel, introduced its Weebit Resistive RAM (ReRAM), a non-volatile memory (NVM) intended to eventually replace flash memory. This innovative solution provides enhanced performance, improved security, reduced costs, and lower power consumption, making it ideal for companies developing systems-on-chip (SoCs). Integrated into the SkyWater 130-nm CMOS process, this high-speed NVM is tolerant to radiation and electromagnetic interference, targeting applications across the IoT, automotive, industrial, and aerospace sectors. The embedded ReRAM module includes control logic, communication elements, error-correcting code, and a customizable 256-kb ReRAM array, facilitating seamless integration with advanced EDA tools.

In February 2023, GlobalFoundries, a semiconductor manufacturer based in the US, acquired non-volatile resistive RAM (ReRAM) technology from Renesas Electronics Corporation for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition is intended to bolster the company's capabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G applications.
