Chinese memory maker CXMT mops up even more market share away from the likes of Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron, giving me hope that competition is the way out of the memory crisis
Chinese memory chipmaker CXMT continues to grow its share of the global DRAM market, cutting into the dominance long held by South Korea's Samsung and SK hynix and America's Micron. The development is seen as encouraging news for an industry currently gripped by a memory pricing crisis, as increased competition from a new major manufacturer could help ease supply constraints and price pressures that have been squeezing consumers and computer builders alike.
The report frames CXMT's rise as a meaningful shift in an industry historically dominated by just three major players, with the Chinese firm's expanding output potentially disrupting the pricing power those companies have held. Greater competition in memory manufacturing is presented as a possible route out of the current shortage-driven price spikes affecting RAM and other memory products, though the article itself was unavailable in full detail beyond this headline framing.
