Demand for Flash Memory Cards and Readers is Expected to Dramatically Shoot up26 November 2005
The increasing demand for consumer electronic products has paved the way for a dramatic boom in the demand for flash memory cards and readers. In 2004, about 12 million flash memory cards, valued at US$216 million, and 5.5 million card readers worth about US$30 million, were produced in mainland China. Seventy percent of memory card output was shipped to overseas markets.
Shenzhen in Guangdong province is the major production hub for flash memory-based products including USB flash drives, MP3 players and memory cards. Taiwan, on the other hand, has become a key sourcing center for flash memory cards and readers due to its well-established semiconductor industry. The flash memory industry has become dependent on trends in the flash digital still camera, camcorder, portable media player, mobile phone, PDA and handheld PC industries.
Semiconductor-industry analyst Future Horizons reported that digital still cameras accounted for 44.3 percent of the flash memory card market in 2004. Future Horizons likewise expects mobile phones to take over digital still cameras share of the flash memory market in 2005.
