Embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC) Market Outlook - 2028
The global embedded multimedia card (eMMC) market size is expected to reach $11.53 billion by 2028 from $9.30 billion in 2019, growing at a CAGR of 3.30% from 2021 to 2028.
An embedded multimedia card (eMMC) is an embedded non-volatile memory system that comprises both flash memory and a flash memory controller, which simplifies the application interface design and frees the host processor from low-level flash memory management. Embedded multimedia cards (eMMC) are rapidly being adopted in many embedded applications, such as single board computers (SBC), robotics, medical devices, automotive, networking, and building control devices, owing to their compact size, low power consumption, and numerous enhanced features. With the rapid growth in the Internet of things (IoT) market, the eMMC is finding its way to newer applications.
Embedded multimedia cards (eMMC) are frequently used in portable electronic devices that need flash memory. There is a high demand for eMMC in electronic devices including digital cameras, digital set-up boxes, digital book readers, portable terminals, camcorders, televisions, and others. An embedded multimedia card (eMMC) is a standard solution for storing high-density memory for high-performance applications such as portable consumer electronic products. The primary usage of eMMC has been the mobile device industry that uses the technology in smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. The largest capacity eMMC available is 128GB, which is made by Samsung and used in lightweight notebook computers.
The prominent factor that drives the embedded multimedia card (eMMC) market growth include the increasing adoption of embedded multimedia cards (eMMCs) in the automotive industry, rising demand for embedded multimedia cards (eMMC) in electronic devices, and high demand for integrated memory in mobile computing devices. Increasing adoption of eMMCs in-vehicle cameras, GPS systems, and ADAS applications in the automotive industry is driving the market for the embedded multimedia card (eMMC). The demand for high-density, nonvolatile memories with a small footprint has increased dramatically. In addition, the increased consumer demand for high-tech features in automobiles, such as infotainment systems, is also one of the key factors that drive the demand for the embedded multimedia card (eMMC) market. However, one of the major restraints is the continuous development in technology and the evolution of new storage devices.
On the contrary, the surge in the development of Chromebooks fuels the growth of the global market. The high development of Chromebooks is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the embedded multimedia cards (eMMCs) market in the coming years. Embedded multimedia cards (eMMC) are one of the preferred storage devices by Chromebooks, due to their speed, efficiency, and low-cost chip. For instance, in July 2020, AMD launched new AMD-powered Chromebooks such as ‘Zork’ that came with a massive increase in speed and efficiency.
