[FNX Magokiler]

The components that have dropped the most in price have been the RAM memory modules. A report has been published on which are the largest sellers of these components in 2022. The data shows that the market is controlled by Kingston with a 78% share. But, big brands such as Crucial, Corsair or G.Skill, among other prominent brands, do not appear on the list.

We have seen how the price of RAM has fallen this year to truly ridiculous prices, to define them in some way. Now, 32GB kits cost the same as 16GB kits did about two years ago.

Prices that come from a huge excess of supply and a very low demand. So much so that the main DRAM memory manufacturers agreed to a drastic downward adjustment in the production of this type of memory.

Who are the main RAM memory manufacturers?
If we ask you about some names of RAM memory manufacturers, there are several names that will come to mind instantly. These would be Corsair, Kingston, ADATA, Crucial, Team Group or Patriot. But, which of these are the most purchased by users?

 

 

TrendForce has published a report showing which were the main RAM memory sellers in 2022. Although we are closing the year, this information refers to last year. This is normal, since collecting and tallying the data is quite complicated.

The report highlights a 4.6% drop in sales overall compared to 2021. It may seem like bad data, but an even greater drop in sales is expected this year.

This report highlights that Kingston is the largest memory seller with just over 78% market share in 2022. It may seem like an absurd figure, but it has been around 75-80% share for years.

The second position goes to Ramaxel, a Chinese manufacturer that offers generic modules, with a 3.78% share. We have ADATA in third position with a 3.33% share. We are in fourth position with POWEV, a Chinese manufacturer that only sells in that country and has a 2.88% share. Finally, in fifth position we have Kimtigo, also a Chinese manufacturer, which has a 2.33% share.

Patriot, Innodisk, Team Groupo and Apacer, other large RAM module manufacturers, have less than 1% share. There is a 4.15% remainder that would be occupied by other brands with shares less than 0.7%.
