Kingston announced that it has been named the world’s top third-party DRAM module supplier, according to the most recent revenue rankings from analyst firm TrendForce (formerly DRAMeXchange). Kingston maintains its top position, with an estimated 78.7% market share on USD14.2 billion in revenue. According to TrendForce, the company increased revenue by 8% year on year, marking the 19th consecutive year that the company has held the top spot.
Kingston is the top DRAM module supplier in 2021
According to the report, the top five memory module manufacturers will account for 90% of total sales in 2021, with the company accounting for nearly 80% of that market. Kingston, as one of the world’s leading buyers of DRAM chips, offers a highly customised production model, which has resulted in continuous growth in shipment scale and increased revenue by 8%.
According to TrendForce, pandemic-induced lifestyle changes and demand for distance learning have increased in the last two years, driving the growth of DRAM module shipments. Kingston took the precautionary measure of being ready for those segments.
The company’s success is largely due to its working attitude of ‘Kingston Is With You,’ which cements the company’s dominant position among consumers and organisations looking to upgrade new and existing systems.
Kingston enhanced its production infrastructure to support upcoming platforms as the industry transitions from current DDR4 memory modules to DDR5. The company began shipping DDR5 modules last year as the industry leader and was the first third-party supplier to receive Intel Platform Validation on its DDR5 UDIMMS.
This was the first, and arguably most important, a milestone in validating compatibility between Kingston DDR5 memory solutions and Intel DDR5 platforms.
