Kingston is the #1 DRAM supplier for the 20th year in a row

Kingston is listed at the very top of a recent ranking of the top global suppliers for DRAM modules, securing its popularity as the number one supplier for the 20th year in a row. Kingston makes a lot of different products, but it’s also the maker of FURY Beast DRAM. Which is popular among gamers due to its high build quality and performance. A well as the stylish RGB lighting that some variations offer.

The rankings come from TrendForce and are focused on DRAM from third-party suppliers. Rankings are based on revenue, with Kingston reporting that for 2022 it cleared a revenue amount of $13.5 billion. A big contribution to that was Kingston’s release of FURY Beast DDR5 RAM and Renegade DDR5 RAM that were refreshed for 2022. Featuring new white heat spreaders and a more stylish look. Kingston also recently refreshed its FURY Renegade DDR4 RAM, although the release of those don’t have an impact on this ranking.

The DRAM module ranking shows Kingston holds 78.12% of the market share

When it comes to third-party DRAM module suppliers, Kingston doesn’t just hold the top sport. It has 78.12% of the market share according to the data. That’s more than the next nine suppliers on the ranking combined. According to the data nearly all of the market share is held by the top five third-party suppliers. Beyond Kingston there’s Ramaxel at number two with 3.78% market share. Then there’s ADATA Technology at number three with 3.33%, POWEV at number four with 2.88%, and finally Kimtigo with 2.33% at number five. That’s over 90% market share globally. With SMART Modular Technologies coming in at number six with 2.23%. The remaining four all having under 1% market share.

All that being said, the rankings don’t include any companies which didn’t publicly release their earnings details. Although the earnings from those companies likely wouldn’t have impacted Kingston much given how much market share it has. In keeping the top spot Kingston does also note that its revenues decreased year-over-year just a little bit. With DRAM module sales from all third-party companies decreasing by 4.6% YOY overall.
