External NOR Flash Market Size Set to Approach USD 1.6 Billion Amid Embedded System Demand
External NOR Flash Market, valued at a robust USD 1213 million in 2024, is on a trajectory of steady expansion, projected to reach USD 1597 million by 2032. This growth, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0%, is detailed in a comprehensive new report published by Semiconductor Insight. The study highlights the critical role of this specialized non-volatile memory in ensuring reliable code execution and data storage across a wide range of high-tech applications, particularly in the automotive and industrial sectors.
External NOR Flash memory, essential for storing firmware and boot code in systems requiring instant-on functionality and high reliability, is becoming indispensable in an increasingly connected world. Its random-access capabilities and fast read speeds make it a cornerstone of modern embedded systems, from advanced driver-assistance systems in vehicles to complex industrial automation controllers.
Automotive Industry Expansion: The Primary Growth Engine
The report identifies the explosive growth of advanced automotive electronics as the paramount driver for External NOR Flash demand. With the automotive segment accounting for approximately 40% of the total market application, the correlation is direct and substantial. The global automotive semiconductor market itself is projected to exceed $80 billion annually, fueling demand for reliable memory components.
“The massive concentration of automotive electronics manufacturers and tier-one suppliers in the Asia-Pacific region, which alone consumes about 65% of global External NOR Flash devices, is a key factor in the market’s dynamism,” the report states. With global investments in electric and autonomous vehicle development exceeding $500 billion through 2030, the demand for high-reliability memory solutions is set to intensify, especially with the transition to higher levels of autonomous driving requiring functional safety certifications and error-correcting code (ECC) features.
