Huawei Suppliers: Memory chip prices will increase in 2020

Given the supply and demand situation, we think there is room for memory prices to rebound. ” He also said “As a leading indicator, the chip industry is like a duck in a river, knowing that spring is coming before anyone else.”
Shanghai-based research company CINNO said that Wanghong, founded in 1989, is a leader in the dedicated NOR-Flash market, with a market share of 21%, and NOR flash is an essential part of almost all electronic equipment a storage component.
Wanghong’s customers include Nintendo, Microsoft, Huawei, Sony, Apple, DJI, etc. Wanghong also provides specialized NAND flash memory chips but does not directly compete with global storage giants such as Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and Kioxia Holdings (formerly known as Toshiba Memory).
