Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it has been ranked top third-party DRAM module supplier in the world, according to the latest rankings by revenue from analyst firm TrendForce. Kingston retains its number 1 position with an estimated 78.12% market share on $13.5 billion (USD) revenue. TrendForce states DRAM module sales in 2022 saw a 4.6% YoY decline across the industry. Kingston's revenue showed a slight decrease but held its position as the global leader for the 20th consecutive year.

According to the report, the world's top five memory module houses accounted for 90% of total sales in 2022 with Kingston maintaining its dominant market share of 78.12%. Consumer buying trends for electronic products took a hit from high inflation but Kingston's robust brand scale along with its comprehensive product supply chain limited its decline, keeping it firmly at the top of market share rankings.



In 2022, its award-winning line of Kingston FURY Beast DDR5 and Renegade DDR5 memory modules received a makeover with the introduction of white heat spreaders to empower users to choose the color that best fits their individual style. In an era where most systems are meticulously designed, Kingston offers modules to complement both traditional all-black systems and now the ever-growing all-white PC.

"The 2022 findings from TrendForce reflect the company's ongoing expansion and adaptability in the face of yet another demanding business year," said Kristy Ernt, DRAM business manager, Kingston. "This milestone not only reaffirms Kingston's dominant presence in the market but also underscores the company's resilience and significance within the industry, as we now proudly maintain our top position for the 20th consecutive year."

Damn, I knew that they're the most known DRAM manufacturer but with a market share like that.
 
Their memory might be used by many OEMS, also think of Kingston Value RAM, which is practically compatible with all computer devices.

Actually, they don't produce DRAM at all, but they do produce DIMMs.
 
It's not that surprising. I would like to point out the DRAM manufacturers, who are probably not included in this list, since they are not third-party DRAM module supplier. Such as Samsung, SK-Hynix and etc. But still they produce DRAM modules and sell them in large quantities, as far as I know.
 
Samsung should start selling memory modules directly, so I would have the freedom to become an official hater of Kingston and its shady tactics :p

They already do, you wouldn't want them. As does SK Hynix and obviously Micron. All at JEDEC spec.

Depends what you're looking for. Samsung had awesome ddr4 ecc dims but they're almost impossible to find as a regular consumer.

This ranking seems pretty shady, the fine print says "this ranking is based solely on their annual dram module revenues. this rankin includes only companies with publicly released earnings information", so for example samsung doesn't publish specific dram modules revenue so it doesn't get included?

Also this information is being published by Kingston, "oh look we're the biggest", hmm says you?

"publicly released earnings information" might be the key. I didn't check but Samsung et al. probably don't make DIMM sales numbers public but wrap them up with DRAM chip/wafer sales etc.
