Report Highlights
BCC Research expects the global market for circuit elements with memory to grow from essentially zero in the 2012 to 2013 timeframe to $100 million in 2018, and grow to more than $675 million in 2023. This market is expected to show a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.5% through the forecast period of 2018 to 2023.
Report Includes
- An overview of the global market for memresistors, memcapacitors, and meminductors.
- Analyses of global market trends, with data projections for 2014 through 2018 and 2023.
- Descriptions of the basic technologies behind memresistors, memcapacitors and meminductors as well as their history, challenges that must be overcome to commercialize them, possible time frames for their commercialization; and potential applications.
- Detailed patent analysis.
Report Scope
The proposed report will describe the basic technologies behind memresistors, memcapacitors and meminductors; their history and current state of development; theoretical advantages and disadvantages; challenges that must be overcome to commercialize them; possible time frames for their commercialization; and potential applications.
The report will focus on memristors, which are much closer to commercialization than the other two basic technologies; types of memristor (e.g. titanium dioxide, polymeric, ferroelectric, spin resistive), their strengths and weaknesses, and expected time to market; applications; and future sales.
The report will highlight the degree to which expected sales represent new markets vs. cannibalizing existing markets and the implications for suppliers’ business strategies. Cannibalization reportedly is a significant concern of developers like Hynix that have a presence in competing markets.
The study format includes the following major elements:
- Executive summary.
- Definitions.
- Historical milestones.
- Technologies and applications that have the greatest commercial potential through 2023.
- Detailed market estimates and projections for each application and material during the period 2012 to 2017.
- General assessment of expected market trends in the longer term (2017 to 2023).
- Companies, academic and government laboratories that are developing commercial memristors, memcapacitors, and meminductors.
- Patent analysis.
