- Rankings by Revenue Places Kingston No. 1 with 68.8% Market Share
- Recognized World Leader for 21 Consecutive Years
Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it has been ranked top third-party DRAM module supplier in the world, according to the latest rankings by revenue from analyst firm TrendForce. Kingston retains its number 1 position with an estimated 68.8% market share. TrendForce states DRAM module sales in 2023 saw a 28% YoY decline across the industry. Kingston’s revenue showed a slight decrease but held its position as the global leader for the 21st consecutive year.
According to the report, the world’s top ten memory module houses accounted for 93% of total sales in 2023 with Kingston maintaining its dominant market share of 68.8%. The decline was mainly due to an inventory correction phase in the consumer electronics sector following the pandemic. This was exacerbated by high utilization rates among DRAM suppliers, which accelerated the price drop. However, the market started to recover in the second half of 2023. Consumer buying trends for electronic products took a hit following the pandemic but Kingston’s robust brand scale along with its comprehensive regional market layout limited its decline, keeping it firmly at the top of market share rankings.
