Memristor Market Expected to Reach $79.0 Million by 2020, Globally - Allied Market Research - Seite 2

Molecular & Ionic Film Memristor held the largest share in the memristor industry in 2015 and is expected to maintain its dominant position throughout the analysis period, due to the remarkable properties such as have easier fabrications and less cost. Hewlett-Packard (HP) is conducting research on titanium dioxide memristor, which is one of the types of molecular and ionic memristors.

Electronics segment dominated with more than 44% memristor market share, in 2015. The memristors have emerged as a viable and more efficient substitute of flash memories that find their application mostly in electronic devices, which drives their traction in electronic industry. Further, the number of industrial robots worldwide has increased considerably in the last decade. In 2015, the highest number of industrial robots, (i.e. about 250 thousand units) were sold in a year. The increase in demand of automation process in industries is expected to surge the number of industrial robots even further. These robots required flash memories with zero boot time, more durability, and smaller space consumption, which are basic advantages of memristors. These properties of memristors are projected to drive their traction in industrial segment and is anticipated to exhibit high growth rate i.e. more than 70% in this segment of global memristor market during the forecast period.

Key findings of the study
