Product Definition:
Micro SD cards are a type of flash memory card that is typically used in portable devices, such as cell phones and digital cameras. They are small in size, which makes them easy to transport, and they have a high storage capacity, which allows for the storage of large amounts of data. Micro SD cards are also relatively affordable compared to other types of flash memory cards.
SD (8M-2G):
SD (Secure Digital) cards are a type of memory card used to store digital media such as photos, videos, and files. They are similar in size and shape to a credit card. The major difference between SD cards and normal flash drives is that the former is embedded with an encryption mechanism that makes access control easier for users while protecting the data stored on it from theft or misuse. This encryption can be turned on or off according to user requirements.
SDHC (2G-32G):
SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) is a specification for digital media developed by SD Card Association to address the needs of high-end consumer applications. It's primary focus is on the storage of highly sensitive data such as credit card numbers, personal identification numbers (PIN), and passwords. The cards are primarily used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, PDA’s, cameras and other devices that require high-capacity storage at an affordable price.
Application Insights:
The smartphone application segment dominated the global market in 2017. The high penetration of this application is attributed to the growing use of mobile phones and smartphones across various regions. In addition, a large number of manufacturers are launching new products to cater to the demand for microSD cards among consumers. For instance, in March 2018, Samsung announced its new product - Galaxy J3 (2018) with expandable memory up to 64GB via microSD card slot.
Tablet PC is expected register notable growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for tablets across various regions especially in Asia Pacific and Europe. Micro SD card provides better storage facility than that provided by internal memory thus encouraging its adoption for gaming consoles as well as tablet PCs running games or applications requiring larger storage space on device itself or on a computer connected through USB port using specially designed adaptor cards available commercially as Multi-Card Reader or MCR).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing smartphone and digital camera sales in the region. In 2016, Asia Pacific held a revenue share of nearly 30% in terms of volume for microSD cards market. China and Japan are among major countries contributing towards regional growth owing to high demand from consumers using them smartphones and tablets PC for storage purposes.
North America is also likely to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to increased adoption of cloud services, coupled with growing demand for connected cars’ entertainment systems & cameras with higher capacity memory units SDHC format which has higher data transfer rate than other formats such as SD or miniSD cards used in cameras Smartphones & Tablets PC etc.).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for data storage in portable devices
- Proliferation of 4K and 8K video content
- Growing demand for IoT applications
- Rising trend of cloud-based storage services
- Emergence of new use cases
