NOR Flash Market Analysis

High reliability and data integrity features have led to an increase in customer satisfaction for NOR flash memory over the past few years. The increasing penetration of electronics in industrial and automotive applications and the rising demand for consumer electronics and communication devices boost the NOR flash market growth. Additionally, the increasing applications of NOR flash memory in industrial, automotive, and medical sectors, as well as in technologies such as the liquid crystal display (LCD), Internet of Things (IoT), and active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) would drive the market.

NOR Flash Market Overview

NOR flash aligns the memory cells horizontally, so it is faster than NAND flash at reading data faster, with a structure that allows for faster data locating. It also provides excellent security for data. However, each cell’s location must be remembered, which is why the circuits are complex. Hence, it is difficult to develop it into mass storage as there is limited space to save data. NOR flash parallels bit lines, so a given memory cell only stays high when both the bit and word lines are low; this corresponds to the logic function of a NOR gate. NOR flash memory provides access to each cell, and it is, therefore, faster to read. However, NAND cells are more expensive than NAND cells due to the greater silicon area for the same total memory capacity.
