Two Research Firms Come Up with the First Detailed Report on NAND Market Segment

As we are living in a never-ending assault of news coming from all manufacturers which are part of the skyrocketing Flash memories market, and all the specialists are wondering what is, in fact, driving this growth, I thought that a study could bring some light into our distressed minds.

Therefore, I found today that two research firms - Infrastructure Advisors and Semico Research, independent research and consulting firms based in the U.S. - teamed up to conduct a report that addresses all these issues and provides a detailed explanation of the market, the players, the technology, and how it all fits together. This 75-page report, entitled "The Explosive NAND Flash Market," is said to give a clear view of the inner workings of this emerging market.

"Many key investment houses and suppliers to the semiconductor industry find themselves on the outside looking in. Our objective with this report was to provide them a means of learning 'who's who' and 'what's what' so that they can rapidly become participants in all that the NAND market has to offer," said Ron Leckie, principal of Infrastructure Advisors.

The report includes an exhaustively SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis on the top NAND suppliers, including Hynix, Infineon's recent brand Qimonda, Renesas Technology, Samsung, SanDisk Corp., Spansion Inc., STMicroelectronics, and Toshiba. IM Flash Technologies, the venture between Intel Corp. and Micron Technology is also analyzed.

"The NAND Flash market is growing faster than any market in the history of semiconductors," added Jim Handy, Semico's Director of Nonvolatile
Memory Services. "Businesses of every sort want to tap into this growth, but don't know where to start. This report will rapidly bring them up to speed with the least effort."

The report is said to be the result of a months-long international training symposium to bring sophisticated investors up to speed in this powerful market. "The training sessions were extraordinarily well received," claims Leckie, "and we felt compelled to bring their content to others who were unable to attend." In addition to the report, custom training sessions are available.
