The storage chip industry driven by AI is expected to experience a “simultaneous increase in volume and price” by 2025. Major players like SanDisk and Micron have announced price hikes of 10%-30%. Samsung Electronics has ramped up DRAM production capacity to 60,000 wafers per month, with the explosive demand in the industry pointing directly to the acceleration of artificial intelligence and data center construction. The demand for storage capacity and speed in scenarios such as AI model training and edge computing is surging, pushing storage chips from “general products” to “AI customization”. Domestic companies have made significant breakthroughs in storage chip design, packaging, testing, and application, with firms like Jiangbolong and Gigadevice achieving dual leadership in technology and market. This article analyzes the core competitiveness of 10 companies deeply engaged in the three major aspects of design, packaging, and application.Related Concepts
