Global NAND memory bit market share 2020, by application
According to recent data, in 2020 it is forecast that 36 percent of total NAND memory capacity will go towards smartphones. NAND flash memory was originally developed by Toshiba in the early 1980s. It allows greater storage density and lower cost per bit than the alternative NOR flash, but is more useful as a secondary storage device than as primary storage, as it does not support a random-access external address bus.
