Samsung Electronics' share of the global DRAM market was 41.9% in the first half of 2023, down 1.6% year-on-year.

According to foreign media reports, due to the decline in chip demand caused by the decline in demand for consumer electronics, the profits of Samsung Electronics, the current world's largest memory chip manufacturer, have dropped significantly. The revenue and operating profit of the device solutions department where the memory chip business is located have both dropped significantly.

According to the latest report from a research institute, in addition to the decrease in revenue and profits, Samsung Electronics' share of the DRAM market in the first half of the year hit a new low in nearly nine years.

According to a report by a research institute, Samsung Electronics' share of the global DRAM market was 41.9% in the first half of this year, down 1.6 percentage points from 43.5% in the same period last year. The 41.9% market share in the first half of this year is the lowest in the past nine years for Samsung Electronics, second only to 38.9% in the first half of 2014. Samsung Electronics' share of the global DRAM market hit a nine-year low in the first half of the year, affected by factors such as inventory adjustments by many customers, reduced shipments, and price declines caused by the sluggish storage market.

In addition, foreign media also mentioned in the report that Samsung Electronics' inventory has increased significantly in the first half of this year. The value of inventory products in the semiconductor business department exceeded 33 trillion won, a significant increase from 21.5 trillion won in the first half of last year.
