DRAM module market seen reaching $109.33 billion by 2030

The DRAM module and component market is projected to grow from $98.31 billion in 2026 to $109.33 billion by 2030, according to The Business Research Company. Growth is being driven by smartphones, data centers, AI workloads and higher demand for memory in mobile and automotive devices. Why it matters: - DRAM modules are core to computers, smartphones, servers and other connected devices that depend on fast memory. - The market’s projected growth points to rising demand for higher-performance memory as AI, cloud and mobile computing expand. - The shift matters for chipmakers, device makers and data center operators that rely on memory supply and pricing. What happened: - The Business Research Company projected the DRAM module and component market will reach $109.33 billion by 2030. - The forecast assumes a 2.7% compound annual growth rate from 2026 through 2030. - The market is expected to rise from $98.31 billion in 2026 after reaching $96.47 billion in 2025. - The report was published June 16, 2026, from London. - A free sample report and the full market report are available online. The details: - DRAM, or dynamic random-access memory, is volatile memory used as primary memory in most computers and electronic devices. - The market’s recent growth has been supported by rising sales of personal computers and laptops, higher smartphone usage, continued reliance on DDR memory types, expanding data center infrastructure and early adoption of gaming and graphics-intensive software. - Future growth is expected to come from demand for high-speed servers, AI and machine learning workloads, high-bandwidth memory technologies, low-power DRAM for mobile devices and automotive memory needs. - The report highlighted emerging trends including AI-optimized memory management, cloud-based DRAM performance improvements, IoT-connected memory architectures, automated DRAM manufacturing and intelligent high-bandwidth memory systems. - The report said high-end smartphones increasingly integrate DRAM into the system-on-a-chip or main logic board to reduce power use and extend battery life. - In February 2023, Uswitch Limited data showed 71.8 million mobile connections in the UK in 2022. - Uswitch projected about 95% of the UK population, or roughly 65 million people, would own a smartphone by 2025. - Asia-Pacific was the largest DRAM module and component market in 2025. - Asia-Pacific is also expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period. - The report also covered South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Between the lines: - The forecast suggests memory demand is shifting from consumer devices alone toward infrastructure tied to AI and cloud computing. - Smartphone adoption remains an important baseline driver, but the report points to higher-value use cases as the bigger growth engine ahead. - Asia-Pacific’s lead likely reflects its concentration of electronics manufacturing and broad device demand, though the report did not break out country-level shares in the release. What’s next: - The Business Research Company expects market gains to continue through 2030 as AI, mobile and automotive applications add more memory demand. - The report says its 2026 editions include market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrices, Excel forecasting dashboards, market hotspot infographics and updated graphics and tables. - The company says it offers more than 30,000 reports across 27 industries and 60+ geographies, along with its Global Market Model intelligence platform. The bottom line: - DRAM demand is on a steady upward path, with AI, servers and mobile devices set to keep memory suppliers in focus through 2030.
