The principal drivers propelling demand for Embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC) solutions are the proliferation of compact, connected devices and the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT). Over 80% of households in some developed markets now own smartphones, a segment where more than 70% of mid-range models depend on eMMC as their main storage interface. The increasing integration of advanced infotainment and connected features in vehicles has amplified storage needs.
Government policies and schemes are accelerating market growth further, particularly in Asia-Pacific. For example, India’s Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0) Scheme provides substantial financial assistance—over ?3,700 crore—for world-class electronics infrastructure. Such government-backed initiatives support innovation, attract investments, and help establish robust supply chains for electronics manufacturing, directly boosting eMMC adoption in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial segments. Companies such as Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix continue to release enhanced eMMC products.
