In the past decades, the memory industry has been one of the most volatile sectors in semiconductors, marked by price fluctuations, supply-demand imbalances, and rapid capacity shifts. Yet as we step into 2025, the rise of AI, massive data processing, and edge intelligence is propelling memory from a “cycle-driven” market into a new stage of “structural growth.”
The global memory market is moving beyond sheer “capacity expansion” toward “breakthroughs in performance, energy efficiency, and system-level integration”. Rapid advances in DRAM and NAND, coupled with the accelerated adoption of new packaging, protocols, and architectures, are propelling the memory ecosystem into a new phase of robust and sustainable development.
According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor market reached USD 346 billion in H1 2025, up 18.9% year-over-year, with the memory segment growing by 20%. Multiple institutions forecast that memory product prices will continue to rise in the third quarter of 2025, particularly in high-value segments such as enterprise SSDs and high-speed DRAM. This wave of AI-driven structural demand is becoming the starting point of a new growth cycle for the memory industry.

In this paradigm-shifting moment, the industry needs a collaborative hub to connect upstream and downstream players, bridge technology with markets, and bring together key forces across the global memory ecosystem to explore trends, align resources, and foster partnerships.
The 4th Global Memory Innovation Forum (GMIF2025 Innovation Summit) will be held on September 24–25, 2025, at the Renaissance Shenzhen Bay Hotel.
Co-hosted by the Shenzhen Memory Industry Association and the School of Integrated Circuits at Peking University and organized by JWinsights (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd., GMIF2025 will focus on the theme “AI Applications, Innovation Empowered” to discuss memory breakthroughs and ecosystem collaboration under the momentum of AI.
Four Core Themes:
01 Trends and Roadmaps of Storage and Memory Technologies: From CXL and Chiplet to near-memory computing, new architectures are transforming memory from isolated optimization to system-level synergy.
02 AI Applications & Deployment Practices: Deep dives into emerging memory innovations driven by AI servers, AI smartphones, AI PCs, and intelligent vehicles.
03 Industry Collaboration Across the Value Chain: Uniting IDM manufacturers, controller providers, solution vendors, packaging & testing suppliers, material and equipment companies to build dual engines of technology and market growth.
04 Global Ecosystem & New Industry Dynamics: Exploring new pathways to reshape supply chains, jointly build standards, and establish a paradigm for cross-border collaboration in the post-globalization era.
