Samsung unveiled an array of next-generation memory and storage technologies during Flash Memory Summit 2022. The company spotlighted four areas of technological advancement driving the big data market — data movement, data storage, data processing and data management.
Japan's government said it will provide as much as 92.9 billion yen ($680 million) to KIOXIA Holdings and Western Digital Corp (WDC.O) to help them boost production and ensure a stable supply of memory chips in Japan. Western Digital has announced its collaboration with KIOXIA to manufacture a 162 Layer NAND using a process technology called bit column stacked or BiCS NAND. This process allows for the drive to allow for 162 layers placed on a single NAND flash.
SK Hynix has indefinitely postponed plans for a 4.3 trillion won ($3.3 billion) expansion of a memory chip plant amid rising cost and concerns about a protracted slump in demand.
Micron wants a piece of the $52 billion in chips subsidies approved by US Congress. The company promised to ramp up domestic memory production over the next few years.
NAND Sufficiency: Expected to be oversupply globally until end of 2022 due to regional conflicts and global inflation.
Price Trend: SSD contract price is expected to slightly decrease in July.
DRAM Sufficiency: Global demand is weaker, so a slight oversupply is expected to last until end of 2022.
Price Trend: Contract prices are expected to decrease slightly and will be close to the spot prices.
