A research report from Citrini Research forecasts that China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) could match Micron's DRAM production capacity by 2026, potentially making China the world's second-largest DRAM producer. This projection hinges on CXMT reaching 350,000 wafer starts per month, with additional capacity from other Chinese firms potentially bringing the nation's total to 600,000 WSPM. However, the report acknowledges that the availability of advanced lithography equipment, particularly due to potential restrictions like the MATCH Act, poses a significant challenge to these expansion plans.
