South Korean chipmaker Samsung Electronics maintained its leading position in the global DRAM market during the third quarter, according to data released by industry tracker Counterpoint Research on Thursday. The company held 38 percent of the global DRAM market by revenue in the July-September period, a slight decrease from the 39 percent it had in the previous quarter.
SK hynix Inc., Samsung's domestic rival, saw a resurgence in market share, rising 3 percentage points to 29 percent. U.S. chipmaker Micron Technology Inc. followed in third place with a 21 percent share, while China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) claimed the fourth spot with 9 percent.
Anticipating a shift in market dynamics, Counterpoint Research predicted that CXMT's market share could continue to decline as premium fourth-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM4) chips supplied by South Korean chipmakers are expected to hit the market in the fourth quarter.
