YMTC will prepare for mass production of 64-layer 3D flash by the end of this year, resulting in increasing market competition.

The price of SSD has ushered in some new variables.
Chinese YMTC will produce 64-layer 3D NAND flash memory chips as scheduled by the end of this year, which will reduce technological gap between domestic particles and the world's top brands to about two years, according to industrial chain news.
At the same time, when flash memory prices continue to decline in 2019, the participation of YMTC will further intensify the competitive situation, making price competition more violent.
For such a new competitor, Sumit Sadana, executive vice president of Micron, said that Micron and he would closely pay attention to the development of Chinese storage novae. However, regardless of quality or yield, he also pointed out that there is still a lot of room for new businesses to improve, including meeting the needs of customers.
Sadana believed that the top flash companies will not be driven out of the market, but whether they will be integrated further remains to be seen.
Although the year when YMTC participates in storage industry is not better time when flash memory profit margin is at a high level or may be damaged, it is expected that Chinese customers will be willing to purchase products produced by YMTC, which means that Chinese customers will gradually reduce their dependence on foreign brands even without significant improvement in total demand.
