China's YMTC enters top 3 global NAND flash suppliers by volume

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp (YMTC) has achieved a significant milestone by entering the top three global suppliers of NAND flash memory by shipment volume. The Chinese chipmaker now holds 14% of the global market share, surpassing Kioxia. Despite this volume increase, YMTC remains fifth in terms of revenue due to its focus on lower-margin consumer products rather than higher-value enterprise storage solutions. AI
