Taiwan’s Adata joins top memory card vendors

Article By : Technavio

Adata Technology's product portfolio includes USB drives, dynamic RAM modules and memory cards. It also caters to express cards, solid-state drive and digital frame market.

Taiwanese storage and memory device manufacturer Adata Technology has been named by market research firm Technavio as one of the top eight leading vendors in the global memory cards market.

Important factors that impede the market growth are enhanced in-built memory capacity in smartphones and proliferation of the cloud, according to Technavio analysts. The market deceleration is further enhanced by the decrease in average selling price of memory cards, while technology advances like faster read/write speed, enhanced durability, smaller form factors and improved cost efficiency, have helped sustain the use of memory cards in smartphones and cameras.

"Vendors supply memory cards in a highly customized manner to gain an edge over competitors in terms of market share. For instance, memory cards with storage capacities ranging from megabytes to gigabytes are sold in the market. Vendors are interested in providing extremely high-capacity cards with high data-transfer rates," said Chetan Mohan, Technavio's industry analyst for research on embedded systems.
