[Hardware] Do you know which are the largest DRAM suppliers in the world?

[Teacher™]

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.

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%.

Surely and at first glance, you will miss some outstanding brands in this segment. The three most notable are G.Skill, Crucial (Micron) and Corsair, which are top manufacturers of this type of modules. Above all, the big mistake that we detected would be that of Corsair, which has reached a 3% share and suddenly disappeared. It catches our attention that among the 10 largest sellers there are 4 manufacturers that only sell mostly generic modules in China. These memories are possibly used in OEM systems and budget gaming systems. Two of the most common types of systems in China. Tell us what you think of this ranking and if you think it is strange that several important brands are out.
