Manufacturers of removable memory cards have had to face dramatic price declines during 2008 and challenging market conditions during 2009, but the outlook for 2010 and beyond is better. The combination of greater cellphone shipments, higher penetration of slots in phones, higher capacity cards and less severe price reductions of NAND Flash will help to push revenue from a flat $3bn in 2007, 2008 and 2009 to a more appealling $9bn by 2013. This Excel model details our forecasts on unit shipments, revenue and card capacities for bundled and aftermarket sales of cellphone memory cards globally and in 27 specific countries.
